The California Highway Patrol responded to a fatal Oceanside motorcycle crash after a man crashed his motorcycle and was hit by another vehicle.
According to the police, a 29-year-old man was traveling on his Harley Davidson motorcycle on the westbound State Route 78 transition ramp to northbound Interstate 5 when, for reasons yet to be determined, he lost control and fell onto the lanes.
Shortly after that, a 69-year-old man driving a Mitsubishi Outlander entered the transition ramp and collided with the motorcyclist, as CHP Public Information Officer Hunter Gerber stated.
Emergency personnel swiftly transported the motorcyclist to a nearby hospital. Unfortunately, he was later pronounced dead. Meanwhile, the driver of the Mitsubishi did not sustain any injuries.

More About Motorcycle Accident Liability
Motorcycle accidents usually cause more severe damage than other auto accidents. Motorcyclists are prone to sustaining major injuries because they are more exposed. Also, motorcycles are lighter and don’t provide much protection. Most motorcycle accidents are caused by the following:
- Compact and less visible on the road
- Loss of control due to road debris
- Motorcyclists are exposed to road and other vehicles
- Prone to wobbling
- Unskilled motorcyclists who don’t have proper licenses
However, motorcycle accident liability always falls on the negligent driver. Most of the time, both the motorcyclist and the other vehicle’s driver can be at fault. It all depends on who made careless road maneuvers, which contributed to the accident. Proving negligence can become challenging on your own. Fortunately, you can hire an experienced attorney for motorcycle accidents. A skilled lawyer can do more than just help build your case.
