The motorcyclist who was killed last weekend when his bike collided with an SUV near Lakeside was identified as 36-year-old Kevin Carter, county officials said Wednesday.
The crash occurred about 3:37 p.m. Sunday when the rider of a 2009 Harley-Davidson motorcycle headed south on Winter Gardens Boulevard slammed into the driver’s side of a 2008 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The Trailblazer was making a left onto Sapota Drive at the intersection, the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office said.
The motorcyclist, a Lakeside resident, was thrown from the Harley and died at the scene, authorities said. He was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash.
The 68-year-old Lakeside man driving the Trailblazer sustained minor injuries but was not taken to a hospital, the California Highway Patrol said.
Neither alcohol nor drugs are suspected to have played role in the crash, according to the CHP.
