San Diego Man Killed in Motorcycle Crash

A San Diego man was killed when a pickup truck driver veered on the freeway and struck two motorcyclists, according to the California Highway Patrol. The pickup truck hit Ortiz on a 2009 Yamaha and his companion on a blue Kawasaki, sending them flying into traffic lanes, the CHP said. For an unknown reason, a Chula Vista man, driving a gray 2003 Ford F-150, steered to the right and onto the shoulder. Both motorcyclists were taken to UCSD Medical Center for major injuries, and Ortiz was pronounced dead. Tuesday morning, Jonathan Isay Ortiz, 27, and another motorcyclist were pulled off to the side of the freeway where westbound State Route 54 merges onto northbound Interstate 5.
