On August 12, 2008 at approximately 8:18 a.m., an injury traffic collision involving a motorcyclist occurred on US 101 southbound at the Oxnard Boulevard off-ramp

Oscar Juarez, 31 years of age, from Camarillo, California was riding his 2003 Suzuki motorcycle on US 101 southbound and was exiting at the Oxnard Boulevard off-ramp. For unknown reasons, he suddenly lost control and struck a raised curb at the end of the off-ramp, causing the motorcycle to tilt onto its side. Juarez was ejected from the motorcycle where he struck the roadway and suffered a fractured wrist. He was transported to St. John’s Regional Medical Center in Oxnard for his injuries but was later released. Juarez was subsequently arrested for unrelated charges.

DUI was not a factor in this collision. The incident is still under investigation by the California Highway Patrol.
