A 23-year-old motorcyclist died Saturday after colliding with an agricultural truck in Oceanside, police said.
The deadly crash happened just after 7:30 a.m. on North River Road, west of Holly Lane, as both drivers were traveling westbound. Police said the agricultural truck was slowing to make a left turn into an agriculture field service road and the motorcyclist was behind the truck.
Just as the truck began to turn, the motorcyclist ran into the rear of the vehicle.
The motorcyclist was ejected from his bike on impact. He stopped breathing and died from his injuries shortly thereafter.
The driver of the truck stayed on scene and cooperated with police. The crash remains under investigation, but the Oceanside Police Department said it appears speed may have been a factor.
