SARATOGA, CA (January 20, 2020) – A man suffered fatal injuries following a motorcycle accident on Highway 9 on Saturday, January 18.
 
Around 4:13 p.m., a motorcycle moving north on the winding highway drifted over the center line in a sharp right curve near Heather Heights Road. After that, it crashed with the driver’s side of a Honda sedan moving south.
 
According to CHP spokesman Officer Ross Lee, the rider then struck the driver’s side of a red Toyota pickup moving south behind the Honda.
 
The impact ejected him from the motorcycle. Then he was run over by the rear wheels of the pickup truck, investigators determined.
