OAK VIEW : Coroner Identifies Dead Motorcyclist
Ventura County coroner’s officials identified Monday a 39-year-old Ventura man who died after his motorcycle crashed into a car that crossed over the center line into oncoming traffic near Oak View.
Stuart Wise, a mechanic, died from internal injuries that he sustained in Sunday’s crash, said Deputy Coroner Dale Zentzis.
On Sunday, Wise’s motorcycle hit a car driven by William J. Houorka, 38, of Ventura, which had crossed the center line on California 33 to make a left turn, the California Highway Patrol said. Wise was thrown from his motorcycle, the CHP said.
Wise was taken to Ventura County Medical Center, where he later died, the CHP said. Houorka was not hurt in the collision.
