CHP: One Killed in Winchester Motorcycle Crash

The California Highway Patrol is reporting that a motorcyclist has died following a crash in Winchester Tuesday.

The crash was reported around 11:30 a.m., in the intersection of Domenigoni Parkway and State Route 79, according to CHP incident logs.

Involved in the incident were the unidentified motorcyclist and a woman driving a sedan.  The person on the motorcycle died at the scene, according to witnesses and CHP reports.

"Something told me to get over... I was braking hard enough, but it was too late," Shalandra Broadnax, who was driving the sedan, told Lane Media following the crash. "My car just skidded, and it slid right into him."

"I was coming down that hill right there," she said.  "And that hill right there says 60 mph, but I slowed down when I saw him at the stop [light].  And I tried to slow down as much as I could... "

Emergency crews were still on scene as of 12:45 p.m., and traffic was backed up in the area while they worked to clear the wreckage.

Lane Media is at the location and will be providing additional details and images here.
