OCEANSIDE — A motorcyclist was seriously injured Saturday in a crash involving two SUVs on Interstate 5 near Camp Pendleton, authorities said.
The crash was reported around 4:40 p.m. on southbound Interstate 5 near the Aliso Creek Rest Area, according to the California Highway Patrol.
A witness told the CHP the crash involved a white SUV, a silver SUV and a motorcycle.
A group of motorcyclists reportedly stopped to help the injured rider, who was airlifted to a hospital for treatment.
The crash blocked the two right lanes, prompting the CHP to temporarily shut down all southbound lanes. The two left lanes reopened around 5:30 p.m., and two motorcycles were towed as evidence. The roadway fully reopened shortly after 7 p.m.
