A 29-year-old Murrieta man has been killed in a motorcycle accident on Ortega Highway, according to a news report.
The California Highway Patrol said that Travis Tucker was riding his 2004 Suzuki motorcycle west on Ortega Highway when he hit the back of a 2006 Honda Element, which had swerved to avoid stopped traffic. Investigators said that the Honda driver hit her brakes and turned to the left to avoid rear-ending stopped cars on the two-lane highway; Tucker tried to turn into the same lane but was unable to brake in time to avoid the Honda.
Tucker was airlifted to Mission Hospital, where he died about three hours after the collision. The Honda driver was not injured.
