SAN DIEGO, CA – A 47-year-old man on a Triumph motorcycle suffered a broken leg in a traffic collision in the Midway neighborhood of San Diego, police said Wednesday.

Officers were called about 10:15 p.m. Tuesday to the 3800 block of Rosecrans Street and located the victim suffering from non-life threatening injuries, according to Officer Robert Heims of the San Diego Police Department.

Investigators determined the motorcycle rider and the driver of a 2017 Lexus SUV were traveling southbound on Camino Del Rio West and entered the intersection at Rosecrans Street on a green light when a 20-year-old man driving a 2005 Toyota Camry northbound on Camino Del Rio West turned left onto Sports Arena Boulevard against the red light and hit the motorcycle as it was in the intersection, Heims said. The Lexus ended up hitting both the Camry and the Triumph.

The motorcycle rider was transported to the hospital, but the other drivers were not hurt, he said.
