RANCHO BERNARDO (KUSI) — 38-year-old Brian Jones was identified Saturday by the San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office as the man who was killed in a motorcycle crash while riding without a helmet in Rancho Bernardo Friday night.

According to the Medical Examiner's Office, Jones failed to maneuver a turn, struck the curb and ultimately lost control of the motorcycle. The crash occurred at 9:20 p.m. Friday in the 18600 block of Caminito Cantilena.

Jones was on a 1993 Suzuki Dirt Bike and was traveling at an unknown speed south on Caminito Cantilena when his motorcycle went across a landscaped area and struck a fire hydrant. He was ejected and hit a parked vehicle, the Medical Examiner's Office said.

``Nearby residents heard the collision and called 9-1-1. Paramedics arrived shortly after to find the decedent lying in the street unresponsive with bystander CPR in progress,'' the statement said. ``Paramedics initiated advanced cardiac life support as he was transported to the emergency room. Upon arrival to the ER, ACLS was continued and despite an aggressive resuscitative effort, his death was pronounced.''

sad story, hard to see in news foto but looked like a DR (DS) type machine thought I could see a turn signal and looked like those conventional DR forks.

For sure it wasn't an RM (full on Dirt Bike).

Hey all throw on the skid lid even for a test buzz up the street. sad story.

way back in the day (78-79 time frame) we lost one of our HS rider guys...happened to be one of the best riders around, MX and street , he took a quick round block test  ride on his epic wheelie machine RD400 Yamaha,  no helmet, slid, hit curb and was an instant statistic.
