Man Killed, Woman Critically Injured In Crash With SUV In San Diego

SAN DIEGO, CA — A man was killed and a woman suffered life-threatening injuries Saturday when their motorcycle collided with an SUV that attempted to make a U-turn in front of them.

The crash was reported around 4:15 p.m. Saturday in the 4100 block of Camino Del Rio North, according to San Diego police Officer J. Perales.

The 59-year-old man was driving a 2021 BMW G310 motorcycle with a 55-year-old woman passenger eastbound on Camino Del Rio North in the left lane when a 60-year-old man driving a 2015 Subaru Outback in the same direction in the right lane tried to make a U-turn across the median and turned directly in front of the motorcycle, which was hit by the Subaru.

The motorcycle driver was pronounced dead at the scene and the woman suffered a fractured pelvis, fractured leg and collapsed lung, Perales said.

The crash was under investigation but alcohol was not believed a factor, the officer said.
