Man Killed, Another Severely Hurt in Wynola Motorcycle Accident on Springview Road

San Diego County, CA. – A man from La Mirada was killed while a Mission Viejo man was severely injured after a motorcycle accident on Sunday morning in Wynola, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The fatal crash happened about 10:30 a.m. on July 29 on Springview Road.

Police said a group of motorcycle riders was riding eastbound through the Wynola when a 2020 Harley-Davidson Low Rider swerved into the westbound lane and sideswiped an approaching 2024 Chevrolet Silverado towing a trailer.

The motorcycle and its rider, a La Mirada man, went down and halted underneath the bike.

A second rider, a 55-year-old Mission Viejo man who was also in the group, attempted to swerve to avoid the La Mirada man, and his Harley Davidson slammed into the pickup truck.

The two motorcyclists were wearing helmets at the time of the collision.

The La Mirada man succumbed to his injuries as medics ferried him to the Santa Ysabel, where he was to be flown to the hospital.

The Mission Viejo man was transported to Palomar Medical Center for treatment of serious injuries.

The pickup driver, a 38-year-old man from San Diego, and his passenger were unhurt in the accident.

Authorities have not determined whether drugs or alcohol played a role in the accident.
