One killed, one injured in Palomar Mountain motorcycle accident

By: North County Times -

PALOMAR MOUNTAIN ---- A man was killed and a woman was seriously injured in an accident involving two motorcycles on Palomar Mountain Sunday, authorities said.

The accident was reported just before 11:40 a.m. on South Grade Road, just south of East Grade Road, the California Highway Patrol reported.

The man was traveling downhill and incorrectly negotiated a curve, sending him the road and into the path of the woman's motorcycle, which was headed in the opposite direction, CHP Sgt. Tom Greenstone said.


It was unclear if the two vehicles collided, Greenstone said.

The woman was airlifted to a local hospital with major injuries, CHP reported.

South Grade Road at East Grade was also shut down around noon, with traffic diverted to East Grade, CHP reported.

Palomar Mtn Claims a life.

Sad to say that Palomar Mountain claimed a life today. Rest in peace rider.

Slaps and I went up just after 2:30 today and learned of the accident. Rider was going down the hill and crossed the Double Yellow and hit a rider coming up the hill. The guy going down the hill broke his neck hitting the guard rail. The girl going up the hill was taken out by life flight with serious injuries. Hope that she recovers. Sad story of what can happen.

While at the top a suv with a trailer came to pick up a bike owned by a friend of the fallen rider. I don't think I would be able to ride home after loosing a friend either.

Sad topic to be posting up. Not something any of us really want to think about.

Sally is home and recovering... I don't want to get into specifics, (don't feel it's my place) but was one of the first on scene as well. Have been in touch with both her mother and Ben, her husband.

The other rider, Godspeed to you. It is purely assumption to say that he was at fault, nobody but Sally knows for sure and she is having a hard time remembering any of it right now. But it does appear to be his fault. Unfortunately he is leaving two young kids behind. He was a marine stationed at Pendelton, has served 2 tours in Iraq and passed at the young age of 26. Please, everyone say a prayer for this young man and his family. He deserves it.

A prayer has been said.

That makes it even worse. Two tours in harms way, and a family at home. Best wishes to the families.

More Marines are injured or killed off duty than in war. Unfortunately motorcycles happens to be one of our leading causes of injury and death :/

At least the girl is ok and at home resting. Seems like the guy made a mistake, sad and unfortunate what happened to him though.

I've seen a red 1000rr in Horno where I work. I know some Gy that has a black 1000rr though. Damn I guess I will find out in the morning if it was him.

Just re assure them that your track day isn't on Palomar and that it is in a controlled environment. I wouldn't be suprised if the military starts banning us from driving motorcycles.

You don't ride the twisties? Your bike is made for twisties. I hope you track your bike or something of that sort. Tell me that you are not saying you only like driving straight lines! =-/

My SgtMaj rides a harley...he's been on palomar...lives in Temecula. He told me he knows the track is safer, but unfortunately everyone in the chain between myself and the SgtMaj see it as an incredibly dangerous extreem sport and I'm gonna die or get seriously injured...even after reading about the controls in my ORM letter. fookin ghey.

First of all, the bike is meant for a track. Second you don't drive a bike you ride on a bike. Third don't thread jack. RIP to the fallen Rider/Marine/Husband/Father and hope that the innocent victim get well soon and fully recover.
