Motorcyclist killed in crash on Telegraph Canyon Road, CVPD says

CHULA VISTA, Calif. (KGTV) – Chula Vista police say a man was killed after losing control of his motorcycle in a crash on Telegraph Canyon Road Thursday evening.

According to a press release from CVPD, officers responded to the 700 block of Telegraph Canyon Road around 4:44 p.m. They discovered that a black and silver 2005 Suzuki GSXR1000 crashed after the rider struck the median while traveling westbound on the road.

CVPD says after hitting the median, the rider was launched from the motorcycle and landed in the eastbound lanes, where a dark gray 2006 Honda Accord ran him over.

First responders attempted to administer first aid to the motorcyclist, but he was pronounced dead at the scene, the statement said.

The driver of the Accord, a 56-year-old woman from Spring Valley, cooperated with police at the scene. She was not injured in this accident.

CVPD says it has ruled out alcohol and drugs as a factor in this incident.

At this time, the department has not identified the motorcyclist because officers must notify the family before publicly releasing that information.
