Poway, CA (May 31, 2025) — A 22-year-old man was killed late Saturday morning after his motorcycle collided head-on with a Ford truck hauling a boat on State Route 67, according to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department.
Incident Details: The fatal collision occurred at approximately 11:45 a.m. near the intersection of State Route 67 and Ellie Lane. According to officials, the young motorcyclist was traveling along the highway when he collided with the truck. Emergency responders from Poway Fire arrived promptly and administered life-saving measures, but the rider succumbed to his injuries at the scene. Authorities have not yet released the identities of those involved, pending notification of next of kin.
Investigation and Legal Considerations: The factors that led to the crash are still under investigation. Authorities have not yet determined whether drugs or alcohol played a role. They will examine visibility, right of way, driver attentiveness, and whether speed or unsafe maneuvers contributed. Reviewing eyewitness accounts or video footage could help understand the cause of the collision.
Pending the outcome of the investigation, the motorcyclist’s family may be entitled to pursue a wrongful death claim to recover damages such as funeral costs, loss of companionship, and other losses stemming from this tragic event.
My thoughts are with the young man’s family during this difficult time.
