A sheriff’s deputy was transported to the hospital following a solo motorcycle collision on San Francisquito Canyon Road in the Angeles National Forest late Wednesday morning, according to Officer Carlos Burgos-Lopez, public information officer with the California Highway Patrol.
According to Burgos-Lopez, officers received the call at 10:34 a.m., reporting the collision near 30773 San Francisquito Road, near the Drinkwater Flats off-road area. The deputy was associated with the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station, according to Burgos-Lopez.
Deputy Daniel Dominguez, with the L.A. County Sheriff’s Information Bureau, stated that the deputy was transported to the “local hospital,” referring to Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital, with minor injuries. According to Dominguez, the CHP is conducting the investigation.
Officers were still on the scene as of 10:50 a.m., according to Burgos-Lopez.
First responder radio dispatch traffic initially indicated that the deputy’s injuries might be serious enough to warrant a “critical roll,” in which deputies block intersections to make way for an ambulance en route to the hospital. However, the request for a “critical roll” was subsequently canceled, per radio dispatch traffic.
No other injuries were reported.
