Scene of motorcycle accident in Lodi, California

Lodi ? California

A motorcycle rider rear ended a school bus on East Lodi Avenue near Cherokee Lane around 3:40 p.m., in Lodi, California.

The motorcycle rider was transported to Lodi Memorial Hospital with substantial injuries, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The motorcycle rider who is a young man, who works at a Les Schwab Tire Center down the street, was expected to be airlifted to UC Davis Medical Center, according to the CHP.

Witnesses said the motorcycle was traveling west on Lodi Avenue at a high rate of speed, when it collided with the stationary school bus.

There were no apparent injuries to anyone onboard the school bus, which suffered minimal damage.

Alcohol or drugs are not believed to be involved, the CHP said.

I ride motorcycles myself. It is inexplicable to me how someone on a motorcycle could rear end a school bus unless there were driving way too fast.
