Motorcyclist, 27, Killed in Crash

Officials have identified a man killed in a motorcycle crash Sunday in Borrego Springs.

The San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office said Oceanside resident Shane Sluss, 27, died after being thrown off his motorcycle on eastbound Montezuma Road at mile marker 13.5.

California Highway Patrol officials said the deadly accident happened around 12:40 p.m. Sluss failed to negotiate a turn because of his speed and his motorcycle veered off the roadway and into an embankment.

He was then thrown off the bike, sustaining critical injuries.

Several friends were on scene and performed CPR, but he was declared dead at the scene, officials said.

No other vehicles were involved in the collision and alcohol or drugs were not a factor. The accident is under investigation.
