SAN DIEGO (CNS) - Authorities Tuesday publicly identified a 26-year-old man who was killed last week in a motorcycle crash on Interstate 805 in Chula Vista.
Francisco Guzman of Escondido was riding to the north through Chula Vista in a carpool lane about 6 a.m. Wednesday when the driver of a pickup truck traveling alongside him changed lanes directly in his path near Telegraph Canyon Road, according to the San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office.
Trying to avoid a collision, Guzman braked and laid down his 2001 Kawasaki two-wheeler on its side on the roadway, then slid into the back of the truck, suffering severe blunt-force injuries, the agency reported.
Paramedics took Guzman to UCSD Medical Center in San Diego, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.
