A motorcyclist died in a crash on state Route 76 west of Lake Henshaw Saturday afternoon, authorities said.

The single-vehicle crash was reported about 5:20 p.m. and happened west of East Grade Road, a Cal Fire Battalion Chief said.

A 27-year-old Escondido man was riding a 2013 Harley Davidson Breakout westbound when he entered a curve, veered to the right and hit some dirt, causing him to lose control of the bike, a California Highway Patrol Officer said.

The rider slammed into a boulder and was thrown from the motorcycle. He died at the scene.
