According to Sgt. Chad Loeffler, at about 3:10 p.m., deputies from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Temecula Police Station responded to the area of Meadows Parkway and Spyglass Hill regarding the reported accident.
A preliminary investigation at the scene indicated the victim was riding a Yamaha motorcycle northbound on Meadows Parkway when he lost control of the motorcycle and collided with a tree located in the center median of the roadway. It was not immediately known what caused the rider to lose control of the motorcycle.
