Turlock motorcyclist killed in crash on North Golden State
A Turlock motorcyclist died Monday after the driver of a sedan turned in front of him on North Golden State Boulevard, according to Turlock police.
The Stanislaus County Coroner’s Office identified the motorcyclist as 32-year-old Owen McDonald.
The collision occurred around 4:20 p.m. when the driver of a Hyundai Accent attempted to make a left turn onto North Golden State from Pedras Road, according to a press release from the police department. McDonald was traveling north on North Golden State and crashed into the driver’s side of the Hyundai.
McDonald was taken to a hospital, where he later died.
The driver of the Hyundai, identified only as an adult female, was treated at a hospital for injuries that were not life-threatening.
“The Turlock Police Department is still in the early stages of investigating this collision, however, investigators can say that speed and alcohol or drugs do not appear to be a factor in this collision,” according to the press release.
The roadway was partially closed for nearly five hours while officers investigated the collision.
