Rider Injured in Traffic Accident near Temecula Parkway [Temecula, CA]

TEMECULA, CA (March 21, 2022) – Wednesday morning, a rider sustained injuries in a traffic accident near Temecula Parkway, police said.

California Highway Patrol said the crash happened at 6:42 a.m., along the southbound side of the freeway.

Furthermore, Riverside County Firefighters arrived to the scene after receiving multiple reports of a vehicle collision with a motorcycle.

Moreover, witnesses told the CHP that a black Chevy Tahoe “made an unsafe lane change” and collided with a motorcyclist who was ejected to the roadway.

Additionally, reports also indicated that a silver Scion then struck the downed rider. The driver of that car stopped in the center divider and waited for officials.

As of 8:00 a.m., southbound traffic remained slow from the Interstate 15 through the Temecula Parkway/79 south exit.
