SAN DIEGO, CA — A 69-year-old man suffered a fractured leg Thursday when his motorcycle collided with a car in south San Diego’s Egger Highlands area, reports FOX5 San Diego.

San Diego police responded to the scene in the 1600 block of Coronado Avenue at about 6:51 p.m.

A preliminary investigation indicates the man was riding a 2003 Honda Shadow motorcycle eastbound on the road when a westbound 2002 Toyota Corolla made a left turn in his path. Moments later, the motorcyclist struck the Toyota as it turned onto 16th Street.

Authorities said the rider was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, including multiple fractures to his left leg.

No injuries to the driver of the Toyota or its two passengers were reported.

Officers do not suspect impairment to have been a factor in the crash.

As of this writing, authorities have not released details regarding any pending charges, but an investigation by the SDPD’s Traffic Division remains in progress.
