(Single vehicle collision still under investigation)…A 67 year old Canadian woman suffered fatal injuries in that collision.
The California Highway Patrol says the collision occurred just before 5:00 Tuesday evening. A motorcycle ridden by Cameron Luchyshin of Alberta Canada was traveling westbound bound on Salton Seaway, east of the San Diego County Line. Sharon Waycott was a passenger on the motorcycle. As the bike approached a bend in the road Luchyshin failed to negotiate the turn and drove off the roadway to the north. The motorcycle traveled onto the dirt shoulder and overturned, ejecting both riders. Luchyshin was transported to Desert Hospital by REACH Air Ambulance for treatment of his injuries. Waycott was transported to Pioneers Memorial Hospital, but succumbed to her injuries enroute. The CHP says the strong winds may have been a factor in the collision. The investigation is continuing.
