January 9, 2014 (San Diego) Updated January 10, 2014 – A motorcyclist who witnesses reported was speeding at up to 100 miles per hour and weaving across lanes struck a Hyundai sedan on I-8 eastbound west of Texas Street in Mission Valley around 4 p.m. today. Both vehicles burst into flames.
Passerbys stopped and tried to douse flames with a fire extinguisher, also performing CPR on the motorcyclist, 22, from San Diego before firefighters and paramedics arrived, but he was declared dead at the scene. He was driving a dark 2008 sport-type Suzuki motorcycle, according to CHP.
The Hyundai driver, a 53-year-old Chula Vista woman, escaped without injuries.
