CARLSBAD, Calif. — On January 27th, 2018 at 5:49 p.m., Officers from the Carlsbad Police Department responded to area of Carlsbad Boulevard and Cerezo Drive regarding a report of a serious injury collision. Upon arrival, Officers found that a motorcycle occupied by a male rider and a female passenger had gone down in the roadway and had collided with a vehicle.
