Traffic
Delayed Saturday Afternoon
California Highway Patrol – (Running Springs) Arrowhead Regional Headquarters Officers responded to the scene of a
fatal traffic collision on State Route-330, just north of Highland
Avenue, Saturday
April 15, 2017, 5:32 P.M.
The Highway
Patrolmen learned that the owner of a black 2002 Harley Davidson motorcycle, Kenneth G. Patrick, had been traveling north-bound on
State Route 330 at an undetermined speed, when he allowed his motorcycle to
veer off the roadway onto the northbound shoulder. Therefore, the out-of-control
motorcycle impacted the right-side guardrail, subsequently ejecting Patrick
from the motorcycle and onto the northbound lane of the highway.
As
a result of the late afternoon collision, Patrick suffered serious injuries that
included, major injuries to his arms (severed) and his rib cage, as well as hemorrhagic
shock. 72 year-old, Kenneth G. Patrick was transported to Loma Linda Medical
University Trauma Center, where he was pronounced dead, at approximately 10:00
P.M., Saturday evening.
The
collision is still under investigation with California Highway Patrol Officer
A. Chen, ID 16806.
