July 7, 2017 (Carmel Valley, CA) – A motorcyclist was struck and killed by a motorist driving west on Carmel Valley Road at Self ridge lane on Thursday, July 6, 2017, around 12:00 pm.
The motorcyclist, an unidentified 58-year old man from San Carlos, riding a 2012 red Honda Gold Wing motorcycle, heading eastbound on Carmel Valley Road. The driver of a 2003 Ford F-250 pick up truck approached in the westbound lane. In trying to avoid a car stopped in his path, the pickup truck driver lost control, over-corrected and broadsided the motorcyclist.
