A motorcyclist suffered major injuries following a three-vehicle crash in Murrieta on Friday afternoon, April 25, 2025.
According to the California Highway Patrol, the crash was reported around 3:00 p.m. on the northbound lanes of Interstate 215 just south of Clinton Keith Road.
Witnesses stated that the motorcyclist was splitting lanes at approximately 75 mph when he lost control and struck the right rear portion of a Ford F-150 towing a utility trailer.
The rider then hit the right side of the trailer and ricocheted into the left front tire of a Peterbilt cement mixer. The impact ruptured the cement mixer’s tire and caused minor damage to the F-150 and trailer.
The motorcycle sustained moderate damage and came to rest blocking the No. 1 lane of northbound I-215. The motorcyclist was transported to Inland Valley Medical Center with major injuries, while the two other drivers involved were uninjured.
The incident remains under investigation.
Don’t Know What To Do After An Accident?
Your safety and rights depend on what you do next after an accident. Remember the following steps if you find yourself in one:
- Check yourself for any injuries.
- Stay on the scene, call 9-1-1, and wait for emergency responders.
- Move your vehicle to the road shoulder if safe; turn on hazard lights.
- Fully cooperate with law enforcement and stay until cleared to leave.
- Document the scene and injuries with photos and videos.
- Seek immediate medical attention.
- Contact your insurance company and find a personal injury lawyer for legal advice.
What A Lawyer Can Do For You
Many victims put off calling a lawyer even if they sustain injuries after an accident. However, lawyers can help you in many ways. They can provide you with police reports, CCTV footage, and witness statements to strengthen your case. Your attorney will also negotiate with insurance companies to get you fair compensation. The best part is that they will do all of these things for you at no upfront cost. So if you’re injured in an accident, hire a personal injury attorney to recover medical bills, car repair costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
