Ab2D90Ed-0D6C-0B86-Ef1Cf501040D3623According to the North County Time, a motocycle rider (possibly running with two others) crashed last night at 9:22 PM on Interstate 5 just south of Tamarack.

The CHP closed off the freeway at 9:30 p.m. during the investigation causing traffic to back up. . . Motorists called to report that three motorcycles were speeding on the freeway just prior to one rider crashing, he said. . . the rider was thrown from his motorcycle, which caught fire, Sanchez said. The rider was conscious and suspected of driving under the influence, he said.

We’re hoping he was wearing one of those annoying broom-head helmets, because they come in so handy for sweeping up after motorcycle accidents.
