A 33-year-old motorcyclist suffered an open fracture to his right femur after losing control of his KTM and slamming into a parked BMW 328i in University Heights over the weekend. He was riding northbound on Louisiana Street when the crash happened, and he was rushed to a hospital for treatment.
According to FOX 5 San Diego, authorities said the crash happened around 1:25 p.m. Saturday in the 4300 block of Louisiana Street, though Patch reported that police responded at about 1:30 p.m. to the same block. The discrepancy in reported times has not been resolved by either outlet. What is consistent across both accounts is that the man lost control of his motorcycle for reasons that remain unknown, sending the KTM into a parked BMW 328i and the west curb.
