A San Diego Police Department motor sergeant was seriously injured on Saturday night after he apparently lost control of his police motorcycle and was struck by another vehicle on a Temecula roadway.
The officer, a Temecula resident, was traveling northbound on Rainbow Canyon Road around 8:30 p.m. when he apparently lost control on a right-hand curve in the roadway just north of Rainbow Valley Boulevard, according to a CHP report released on Sunday.
The officer slid off the motorcycle and crossed the double yellow lines directly into the path of oncoming traffic, according to the CHP.
A man driving a pickup truck on southbound Rainbow Canyon Road “attempted evasive action,” but was unable to avoid hitting the officer and the motorcycle, according to the CHP report.
The officer was taken to a hospital with what authorities described as major injuries.
CHP officers were looking into what caused the officer to lose control of his motorcycle.
