RAMONA, San Diego County, Calif., Nov. 11, 2026 — An elderly man riding an electric motorcycle was hurt on Tuesday evening, November 10, after reportedly being struck by an SUV near 14th Street and Main Street in Ramona, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The crash was reported shortly before 5 p.m. near a Chase Bank branch at the intersection. The log describes the other vehicle as a gray or dark colored Chevrolet Tahoe. The man was found on the sidewalk after the collision, according to the report.
Cal Fire medics responded to the scene and transported the injured man to Palomar Medical Center, the log indicates. No further details on his condition have been released. The San Diego County Sheriff's Office was asked to send a deputy to assist, and CHP units also responded.

Our sympathies are with the family of the person who lost their life.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should someone do after an e-bike or electric motorcycle crash?
Riders or witnesses should call 911 right away, move to a safe spot if possible, and wait for medical personnel and law enforcement to arrive. Getting checked by paramedics is important even if injuries seem minor at first.
Are these kinds of crashes more likely to happen at intersections?
Yes, intersections are common crash points for e-bikes and electric motorcycles because riders and drivers usually have limited time to see each other amid turning or crossing traffic.
What gear helps protect riders of e-bikes and electric motorcycles?
Helmets, reflective clothing, and visible lighting can help reduce injury severity and make riders easier for drivers to spot, especially at dusk or in low light.
