22-year-old dies in motorcycle accident
A 22-year-old Spring Valley man was killed early Saturday after he lost control of his speeding motorcycle on Interstate 5 in San Diego, authorities said.

Richard Dennis Fox was riding a yellow Yamaha R6 north on I-5 when he suddenly veered across traffic lanes into the Clairemont Drive off ramp, authorities said. He hit the guard rail, was thrown off his motorcyle and landed in a stand of trees at the bottom of a steep enbankment.

The accident was reported at 1:39 a.m. Saturday. Fox died at the scene.
