On Feb. 21, around 10:29 a.m., dispatchers began to receive multiple calls about a three vehicle collision on State Route 150 at its intersection with Old Walnut Road southeast of Ojai stated the CHP.
After an investigation, it was determined that a 75-year-old driver of a gray Audi Q4 on Old Walnut Road was attempting to make a left turn onto eastbound State Route 150 when two westbound motorcyclists, a 67-year-old Porter Ranch man and a 63-year-old man from West Hollywood, were riding side-by-side at the same time detailed the CHP.
According to the CHP, the westbound motorcyclists collided with the Audi resulting in major injuries to the 67-year-old Porter Ranch man riding a Honda CRF 1000. He was later pronounced dead at the scene by first responders.
The other motorcyclist, a 63-year-old West Hollywood man riding a BMW R1250 GS, suffered major injuries as a result of the crash and he was airlifted from the scene to Ventura County Medical Center for further medical treatment explained the CHP.
Alcohol nor drugs appear to have played a factor in the fatal collision noted the CHP, but anyone with more information in this ongoing investigation is asked to call the California Highway Patrol's Ventura Area Office at 805-662-2640.
