A motorcyclist who struck a parking curb in Chula Vista was transported to the hospital with serious head injuries Sunday afternoon, the Chula Vista Police Department (CVPD) confirmed.
Witnesses said she has been practicing turning maneuvers in a parking lot before driving onto the sidewalk, between two pillars where she hit the curb and was thrown from the bike.
The incident happened around 2:17 p.m.
The cyclist was found unresponsive at the scene.
It appears speed may have been a factor in the investigation.
The motorcyclist did not appear to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs and was an inexperienced rider.
The Chula Vista Police Traffic Division will be conducting the investigation.
