A 22-year-old man is dead after he crashed his motorcycle over a curb and into a power pole, San Diego County Sheriff's officials say.
At about 1 a.m. Saturday, the motorcyclist was riding west on W. Mission Road when he didn't turn with a curve in the road.
He flew over the curb, collided with a signal electrical box and continued through a dirt lot. He finally collided with an SDG&E power pole.
The man was thrown from his bike, and paramedics took him to Palomar Medical Center. However, he died from his injuries.
Investigators believe alcohol may have been a factor in the crash.
