Motorcyclist Dies in Crash

A motorcycle accident recently killed a rider in San Diego after he lost control of his vehicle and hit an oncoming westbound Honda Accord.

The 49-year-old Virgil Frank Garrett apparently lost control of his motorcycle on a curve before swerving in front of the Accord driven by the 23-year-old motorist.

Garrett died before rescuers were able to transport him to a hospital.

The recent vehicle collision proves how difficult it is to maneuver motorcycles and so riders should be extra cautious and manage the speed of their vehicle.
