Motorcycle crash occurs on State Route 79 near Harrison Oak Lake Lane
JULIAN, CA, (September 04, 2025) - Alfredo Trevino, 46, of Vista, was killed Thursday evening in a motorcycle accident in Julian that also left three people injured.
A passenger on a motorcycle was critically injured Thursday evening in a crash on State Route 79 in Julian, authorities reported.
According to the California Highway Patrol, Trevino was traveling north on a 2020 Harley-Davidson on State Route 79 near Harrison Oak Lake Lane when he entered the path of a southbound 2021 Toyota 4Runner just before 7 p.m. Trevino died at the scene from blunt force trauma.
A passenger on the motorcycle was critically injured and taken to the hospital, while the driver and passenger of the SUV suffered minor injuries. The crash remains under investigation.
CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED
Unlike passengers in cars, those on motorcycles have virtually zero protection. Their safety rests entirely on the operator’s skill and judgment. Therefore, it becomes essential that the motorcycle operator drives cautiously and lawfully. The National Safety Council published a 2018 report that found 4.5 million injuries occurred as a result of motor vehicle crashes.
While the cause and liability of the crash are being investigated, Candice Bond, an experienced accident attorney and Managing Partner of Bond Legal, said that it is imperative to have an independent investigation conducted by a seasoned attorney.
“In addition to the diligent work of law enforcement, an attorney can re-interview important witnesses, analyze any surveillance video from the scene of the crash, and obtain phone and texting records of the liable party,” said Bond, a national analyst for The Legal Advocate.
“Time is of the essence in cases such as this, and the victim’s family must ensure that evidence is reviewed efficiently.”
PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM
Pending the results of the investigation, the injured victims may have the right to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. Candice Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal, noted that the stress and uncertainty following a serious injury can be overwhelming, affecting family, work, finances, and overall quality of life.
“It is essential for victims to hire an attorney when filing a personal injury claim, as this allows a legal professional to negotiate with insurance companies on their behalf,” Bond explained.
“Insurance companies often attempt to pressure victims into accepting quick settlements far below the true value of the case. An attorney will advocate vigorously to ensure clients are treated fairly and compensated appropriately,” she added.
