Man Killed In Lakeside All-Terrain Cycle Crash ID'd

SAN DIEGO, CA — Authorities Monday publicly identified a man who was killed when the three-wheel all-terrain cycle he was riding crashed in a rural neighborhood in eastern San Diego County.

Richard Taylor, 68, and his 2-year-old grandson were aboard the Honda 250SX when it tipped over after apparently running into a decorative boulder in the front yard of a house in the 12100 block of Serena Road in Lakeside about 7:30 p.m. last Monday, according to the county Medical Examiner's Office.

A neighbor found Taylor lying unconscious in front of the home, the agency reported. Taylor, a Lakeside resident, died at the scene of the accident.

Paramedics took the toddler to Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego for treatment of minor injuries, the California Highway Patrol reported.

Neither Taylor nor the boy was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash, CHP public-affairs Officer Jared Grieshaber said.
