Motorcyclist dies in solo crash in the Santa Cruz Mountains
A motorcyclist died on Nov. 3 in an accident in the Santa Cruz Mountains near La Honda.
The accident happened Sunday afternoon on Skyline Blvd., part of State Route 35, just north of Page Mill Road. The deceased is an approximately 36-year-old male, said Officer Sophie Lu, a spokesperson for the California Highway Patrol division in Redwood City.
It appeared to be a solo incident with no other vehicles involved. “At the moment, we don’t see any debris in the roadway” to suggest another driver at the scene, said Lu.
The cause of the crash is still under investigation. There was no immediate information on the make and model of the motorcycle.
The accident temporarily closed both northbound and southbound lanes of Skyline Blvd. Details were hard to come by initially, due to the lack of phone reception in the area.
The stretch of road is in a scenic area on the ridge of the Santa Cruz Mountains, near the Monte Bello Open Space Preserve and the Skyline Ridge Open Space Preserve.
