On June 4, 2025, a solo motorcycle accident occurred on El Pomar Drive, east of Vaquero Road in San Luis Obispo County, California. The incident involved Jeremy Thomas, a 51-year-old resident of Atascadero, who was riding a black 2018 Suzuki motorcycle.
While traveling at a high speed, Thomas lost control of his motorcycle while navigating a curve. This loss of control caused the motorcycle to veer into the opposite lane and eventually onto the south shoulder of the road. As a result, Thomas was ejected from the motorcycle and sustained major injuries. Emergency services responded promptly, transporting him to Sierra Vista Regional Medical Center for medical treatment.
The circumstances surrounding the crash are currently under investigation, with a focus on understanding the factors that contributed to this severe accident.
