Ventura County Sheriff's Department

On 8/4/08, at about 0200 hours, the Thousand Oaks Police Department responded to an injury traffic collision at Moorpark Rd. and Janss Rd. When deputies arrived they found the victim unconscious and his motorcycle a short distance away on fire. Ventura County Fire and AMR arrived to assist the victim and he was transported to Los Robles Emergency room in critical condition.

The preliminary investigation revealed that the victim was riding his motorcycle north on Moorpark Rd. at Janss Rd. when for an unknown reason the motorcycle struck the curb and the victim lost control. Both the motorcycle and the victim struck a nearby tree before coming to a stop. It appears that both speed and alcohol may be a factor in this collision.
