Couple Seriously Injured After Oceanside Motorcycle Crash

A couple suffered serious injuries after their Harley Davidson motorcycle crashed on an Oceanside highway, officer Jim Bettencourt said. 

The incident happened Saturday around 1:10 p.m. on westbound state route 76, east of Ricon Ranch road. 

A 66-year-old Whittier man was riding his 2005 Harley Davidson Road King with his 56-year-old wife as a passenger when they approached a curb. 

They couldn't negotiate it and hit the dirt shoulder and lost control, Bettencourt said. 

The motorcycle hit boulders and the couple was ejected onto the right shoulder. 

The man was airlifted to Palomar Hospital and the female was taken via ambulance to Palomar Hospital. Both suffered serious injuries. 

Alcohol or drugs are not suspected to be a factor.
