Big rig collides with vehicle, motorcycle overturns

by K. Enrique • May 29, 2013

Injury CrashANTELOPE VALLEY – A 47-year-old Lancaster man suffered major injuries Tuesday night after his vehicle ended up wedged underneath a big rig following a traffic collision, authorities said.

The crash happened around 8:45 p.m. Tuesday on SR-138 (Avenue D), according to a California High Patrol report.

Arturo M. Jaramillo of Lancaster was driving a 1994 Ford eastbound on SR-138(Avenue D) over SR-14 when his vehicle collided with a 2007 Kenworth (big rig) that was making a left hand turn from SR-14 northbound to SR-138 westbound, the report states.

Jaramillo’s vehicle became wedged underneath the big rig causing him serious injuries. He was transported to Antelope Valley Hospital from treatment.

No injuries were reported for the big rig’s driver – 59-year-old Richard R. Carman of Greencastle, IN.

Motorcycle overturns causing major injuries

A 48-year-old Pearblossom woman sustained major injuries early Tuesday morning after she lost control of her motorcycle while trying to negotiate a curve, authorities said.

The single-vehicle collision happened around 6:35 a.m. Tuesday on Longview Road, just north of Homer Road, according to a California Highway Patrol report.

Dora Olesh was riding a 2000 Harley northbound on Longview Road, at an undetermined rate of speed, when she failed to negotiate a curve in the roadway and drifted onto the dirt shoulder, the CHP report states.

Olesh lost control of her motorcycle and was thrown from the bike as it overturned, the report states.

She suffered major injuries and was transported to Antelope Valley Hospital for treatment. The traffic collision is still under investigation.

    As the motorcycle overturned? How about having someone who has ridden a motorcycle write these reports?

      Because they die first or aren’t smart enough to write a meaningful sentence.

      Motorcyclists are 35 times more likely to experience a deadly accident on the road than those in passenger cars. Enjoy that thrill ride your life was worth it.

      RideON!

        Just did 1,000 beautiful miles in 4 days over Memorial Day weekend. Survived! Whew! Good thing I’m not an extreme pussy! Makes for a good day! I LOVE MY HARLEY!!!!!

          And I bet we can hear you 3 miles away too, and you call me the puss. LOL It’s cool we won’t miss you or your exhaust.

            That exhaust that bothers you for 15 seconds could’ve saved an accident countless times because a human sence, hearing, caused someone who wasn’t looking to look. Ya know, common sence is a super power. Loud pipes save lives. Think about it. I don’t care if it bothers you. That part makes me smile, and really pull the throttle! I have 144,000 miles on my loud Harley. I can’t tell you how many times those loud pipes caused a positive reaction to the driver that I can see, but doesn’t see me. If a bike sounds like your sewing machine, I believe you’re more likely to take a needless hit to the shins.

            You just keep sewing, and I’ll wrap my pipes and wave as I go by.

        Congratulations RideOn, your meaningless post doesn’t address my comment at all. Obviously time for you to take a basic reading comprehension class.
