SAN DIEGO, CA — A 21-year-old man was hospitalized early Sunday after crashing his motorcycle into a parking gate in San Diego’s Mission Beach neighborhood, reports ABC10 News.

The collision occurred in the 2600 block of North Jetty Road, outside the parking lot of South Mission Beach, at about 2:30 a.m.

San Diego Police said the young man was operating a 2008 Honda CBR 600 motorcycle westbound at a high rate of speed. As he approached the parking lot, he failed to observe in time that the parking gate was closed, causing the bike to strike the gate.

The rider, who suffered several femur fractures to his left leg, was transported to a local hospital.

An investigation was underway, but officials said intoxication is not believed to have been a factor.
