SAN DIEGO (CNS) — Authorities today publicly identified two motorcyclists who died in separate San Diego-area traffic crashes over the weekend.
The first of the two deadly accidents occurred about 11:45 p.m. Saturday, when a Kawasaki two-wheeler being ridden by 68-year-old Mark Darulis of La Mesa struck a broken-down car on northbound Interstate 805, near East J Street in Chula Vista, according to the San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office.
Darulis died at the scene of the crash, the agency reported.
