Motorcyclist, Driver Killed in Separate Accidents
Two people were killed in San Diego County traffic accidents Wednesday afternoon, officials reported.
A motorcycle rider was killed at the intersection of Midway Drive and Fordham Street in San Diego when he swerved to avoid a car making a left turn and skidded into the oncoming vehicle. Officials withheld identification of the victim pending notification of next of kin.
Police Wednesday night said they did not know if the driver of the car making the turn would be charged. His name was not released.
A head-on collision on Highway 76, west of West Lilac Road in the Bonsall area, claimed the life of a driver about 7:30 p.m., sheriff’s deputies reported.
The name of that victim was also withheld pending the notification of relatives. According to deputies, the accident occurred when Alfred Rossi of Fallbrook was driving west when his car crossed into the eastbound lane and struck an oncoming vehicle. Rossi was taken to Tri-City Hospital where he was reported in stable condition.
