A 20-year-old motorcyclist was killed Saturday when another motorcycle rider crashed into him on a dirt road in the Ocotillo Wells area, authorities said. The crash occurred about 10:10 a.m. on a private road south of state Route 78, CHP Officer Jared Grieshaber said. He said a 20-year-old rider on a KTM motorcycle was going 55 to 60 mph when a rider on a Yamaha WR250 motorcycle drove onto the road from a residence.
The Yamaha motorcyclist, also 20, failed to see the KTM rider, and the two crashed into each other, Grieshaber said. The impact threw both motorcyclists onto the road. The KTM rider died at the scene, Grieshaber said. The man's name was not released, pending family notifications. The Yamaha rider suffered major injuries and was flown to a hospital, Grieshaber said. An update on his condition was not available Monday. The investigation was ongoing.
