OCTOBER 26, 2008 – A motorcycle accident in Oceanside last night on the westbound side of state route 76 left two motorcyclists badly injured, authorities reported. The accident happened at about 7:35 p.m. Saturday evening. A group of motorcyclists riding together were stopped at a red light at Guajome Lake Road.  When the light turned to green, two motorcyclists sped away from the group.  One motorcyclist did a “wheelie” and hit another motorcyclist, causing him to be thrown from his bike.  One rider severed his leg below the knee, and was transferred by helicopter to Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla.  Another rider was taken by ambulance to Tri-City hospital. The California Highway Patrol shut down SR-76 temporarily while they investigated the Oceanside motorcycle accident.
