CHP Incident: Two Injured as Motorcycle Strikes KIA Near Fredonyer

Two Westwood residents were taken to the hospital October 3rd, with major injuries after a two-vehicle collision on Highway 36 just east of Fredonyer Summit.

According to the report from the Susanville office of the California Highway Patrol, at around 4:49p.m., the driver of a 2005 Harley Davidson, identified as 42-year old Westwood resident Bobby Stanfill and a female passenger seated on the rear seat, were traveling westbound at a stated speed of 45mph.

Antelope Valley resident Ronald Mccart was driving a Kia eastbound on SR-36, east of Fredonyer Summit, at around 50mph, approaching Stanfill’s location.

“As you are traveling westbound on SR-36 at this location, the roadway consists of a moderate uphill incline and curves sharply to the right,” explains Susanville CHP Public Information Officer Bruce Thuelchassaigne.

“For an unknown reason, Stanfill was unable to negotiate the right curve in the roadway and allowed the motorcycle to cross over the double parallel solid yellow lines that separate the eastbound and westbound lanes of SR-36 and drove directly into the path of the Kia.”

Stanfill and his passenger then struck the Kia in the eastbound lane of SR-36.

Both Stanfill and his passenger were thrown from the motorcycle and landed in the roadway. Mccart immediately stopped at the scene and offered aid to Stanfill and his passenger.

Both Stanfill and his passenger suffered major injuries as a result of this collision and were flown to Renown Medical Center in Reno, Nevada.

According to the CHP report alcohol and/or drugs were not a factor in this collision.
