SAN DIEGO — A 38-year-old man was killed in a solo motorcycle crash near the Westfield Mission Valley mall, police said Tuesday.

The man was riding a 2018 Honda CMX500 motorcycle southbound on Mission Center Road when he lost control of the motorcycle for unknown reasons, veered to the right and struck a curb and a guardrail, Buttle said.

He was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, Buttle said, adding that the man's name was withheld pending family notification.
