SAN DIEGO, San Diego County, Calif., Nov. 10, 2026 — A motorcyclist suffered major injuries on Monday afternoon, November 9, in a crash on westbound State Route 94 near College Avenue, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The crash was reported shortly before 1 p.m. near the College Avenue overcrossing. A witness reportedly described a blue 2019 Chevrolet Equinox stopped behind the motorcycle at the scene, blocking it in the lane, though the vehicle's role in the collision has not been confirmed.
All westbound lanes were shut down as emergency crews responded, the CHP said, and a tow truck was called to clear the motorcycle from the roadway. The agency's log shows a request for an ambulance response at the scene, and the CHP later upgraded the incident to a major-injury collision. Officers initially logged a traffic hazard in one lane before the collision was confirmed.
No information on the motorcyclist's identity, age, or condition beyond the major injury classification has been released. The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
We hope everyone who was hurt makes a full and speedy recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should a rider do after a motorcycle crash?
Move out of traffic if possible, call 911, and avoid removing a helmet or moving an injured rider unless there is an immediate danger, such as a fire. Get medical care even if injuries seem minor, since some, like internal injuries, may not be obvious right away.
Are motorcycle crashes more common at intersections and interchanges?
Yes. Many motorcycle collisions happen where vehicles merge, change lanes, or stop suddenly, since riders are harder for other drivers to spot in these situations.
What gear helps reduce injury severity for motorcyclists?
A DOT-approved helmet, abrasion-resistant jacket and pants, gloves, and over-the-ankle boots all help reduce the severity of injuries in a crash, though they cannot eliminate risk on a high-speed roadway.
