23-Year-Old Motorcyclist Critically Injured in Two-Vehicle Accident near Winnett Street

SAN DIEGO, CA (June 28, 2023) – Friday evening, one rider was hospitalized after a motorcycle collision on Federal Boulevard.

The accident happened around 7:43 p.m., at the 6200 block of Federal Boulevard near Winnett Street in the neighborhood of Encanto. 

Investigators say the rider of a 2014 Triumph Daytona was traveling behind a westbound 2009 Toyota Corolla. The 37-year-old male driver of the Toyota then made a U-turn directly into the path of the motorcyclist, and the two collided.

First responders arrived and located the 23-year-old rider unconscious at the scene. Paramedics rushed the motorcyclist to a nearby hospital with a traumatic brain injury and several broken bones.

Meanwhile, the Toyota driver did not sustain any injuries and remained at the scene. Police do not suspect alcohol or drugs as a potential factor.

Motorcyclists rarely escape injury when an accident occurs. It is important to never underestimate the bike’s speed when you’re riding a motorcycle. Additionally, strictly follow traffic laws and the conditions of the road. For other drivers, do not tailgate a motorcyclist and maintain a safe following distance. Give motorcyclists a full traffic lane when you pass, as they too have equal rights on the road.
