Riverside County Motorcycle Accident Kills One

Dario Moreno, 30, of Rancho Santa Margarita, was killed in a Riverside motorcycle accident after he struck a sedan on the Ortega (74) Highway near the Lookout Roadhouse the morning of May 9, 2009, The Orange County Register reports. Moreno was apparently riding a 2006 Honda motorcycle when the fatal Lake Elsinore motorcycle accident occurred, California Highway Patrol officials said. Moreno was taken to a Wildomar hospital where he was pronounced dead shortly after the motorcycle crash.

My heart goes out to the family and friends of Dario Moreno, who was tragically killed in this motorcycle-car accident. I offer my deepest sympathies to everyone who knew and loved this man. Please keep them in your prayers.

According to California Highway Patrol’s 2007 traffic accident statistics, there was one death and 11 injuries involving motorcycle accidents in Lake Elsinore. In Riverside County as a whole, 41 fatalities and 562 injuries were reported as a result of motorcycle accidents in 2007.

This newspaper article does not provide details about the circumstances of this fatal motorcycle crash. The article states that the motorcycle collided with another vehicle, but there is no information about how that motorcycle collision occurred. Those details will be important in determining who caused the motorcycle collision. This motorcycle accident could have been caused by many factors. It is possible that Moreno may have lost control of his motorcycle and crashed because of a mechanical problem, a motorcycle product defect or a dangerous condition on the roadway.

Experienced California motorcycle accident lawyers will be able to investigate the details of this incident and determine the facts. The family of Dario Moreno will benefit from a consultation with leading California personal injury lawyers particularly experienced in motorcycle accident cases. Skilled car accident lawyers will also be able to make a determination as to what caused the fatal motorcycle accident and whether it involved negligence on the part of others.

I used to work with Dario. He was a good guy with a good sense of humor. He definitely kept everyone entertained which always seemed to make the workday go by a little quicker. There were two things that I would always hear Dario talking about: flying airplanes, and his motorcycle. I’m sure he would have made one hell of a professional pilot if he had the chance. Dario may have died doing something that he loves, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that his death was so tragic and way too soon. I’m sure he will be missed by many.
