***FATAL COLLISION***
On September 1, 2019 at approximately 1240 hours, a 35 year old male from Folsom was traveling east on Wentworth Springs Rd east of Helix Flat Ave while riding a 2018 Harley Davidson Road King motorcycle when, for reasons still under investigation, the rider allowed his motorcycle to cross over the solid double yellow line where it then collided head-on with a 2017 Toyota Rav4 being driven by a 37 year old female from Greenwood.
Despite the lifesaving efforts of emergency personnel, the motorcycle rider succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene.
With the warm weather we have seen an increase in motorcycle collisions.
Please slow down and ride safe.
Enjoy the scenery, El Dorado County is known for it.
