A 74-year-old motorcyclist suffered an open elbow fracture in a collision with a vehicle in San Diego’s Lake Murray neighborhood on Wednesday afternoon, October 21, 2026.
According to the San Diego Police Department, the crash was reported at around 4:20 p.m. in the 8800 block of Navajo Road.
Police said a 54-year-old woman driving a 2013 Jeep Rubicon westbound in the middle lane made an unsafe lane change into the right lane, entering the path of a man riding a 2026 Yamaha XSR900.
The motorcycle collided with the Jeep before leaving the roadway and striking a metal trash can at a bus stop. The rider was ejected and struck a pole.
The man was transported to a local hospital with an open fracture to his elbow. Authorities said alcohol was not a factor in the collision.
The SDPD Traffic Division continues to investigate the crash.
