On December 16, 2020 at about 12:32 pm, Traffic Deputies from the San Marcos Patrol Station responded to a report of a vehicle versus motorcycle at 420 N. Twin Oaks Valley Road, in the city of San Marcos. An off-duty Sheriff’s Sergeant was nearby at the time of the collision and assisted until on duty deputies arrived.
Upon arrival, deputies found a motorcyclist lying in the roadway of N. Twin Oaks Valley Road with serious injuries. The
preliminary investigation revealed that an 80-year-old male driver of a silver Toyota Camry was traveling northbound in
the left turn pocket of N. Twin Oaks Valley Road preparing to make a left turn into the Post Office at 420 N. Twin Oaks
Valley Road.
The driver of the Camry proceeded to make a left turn in front of a 20-year-old male motorcyclist that was traveling southbound on N. Twin Oaks Valley Road. The motorcyclist collided into the front passenger side of the Camry and was ejected from the motorcycle. The motorcyclist sustained a compound fracture to his left arm, a possible broken right arm and other non-life-threatening injuries. The San Marcos Fire Department responded to the scene to administer first aid to the motorcyclist and later transported him to Palomar Medical Center for additional treatment. The driver of the Camry remained on scene.
Speed or alcohol does not appear to be a factor in the collision. The investigation is ongoing, and the San Marcos Traffic Division is handling the investigation.
