A San Diego County Sheriff’s Department deputy was seriously injured in a motorcycle crash on State Route 94 Tuesday morning, officials confirmed.
The department said the deputy – Michael Alcarion, 28, who is assigned to downtown courts – was on his way to work, riding his motorcycle on westbound SR-94 near Euclid Avenue just after 7 a.m. when he struck the right rear of a Nissan Titan.
The deputy lost control and was ejected from his motorcycle. California Highway Patrol officials said the deputy was then run over by a Peterbilt truck, sustaining major injuries.
Alcarion was transported to Scripps Mercy Hospital. His current condition is unknown.
The accident is under investigation, with CHP officials trying to determine the motorcyclist’s rate of speed at the time of the crash.
The sheriff’s department said Alcarion has been with the department for just over one year.
