A motorcyclist was hospitalized Saturday after crashing into another vehicle in Linda Vista.
Officers from the San Diego Police Department responded to a report of a vehicle-versus-motorcycle crash around 11:20 a.m. Saturday in the 1400 block of Ulric Street.
According to officers, the crash occurred when a 24-year-old woman driving a Volvo S-60 sedan southbound on Ulric Street pulled onto the right shoulder and attempted to make a U-turn.
At the same time, a 64-year-old man was riding a Kawasaki southbound in the No 2 lane of Ulric. The Volvo allegedly entered the path of the motorcycle while making the U-turn, causing the motorcycle crash into the rear of the car.
The rider was subsequently rushed to a hospital by ambulance, where he was found to have sustained a fractured vertebra, shattered right ankle and lacerated tongue. The injuries were determined to be non-life-threatening.
Alcohol and drugs were not found to be a factor in the crash, according to the police department.
