A motorcyclist fractured an arm when his bike crossed a road and struck a curb in the Otay Mesa area on Saturday afternoon.

The crash was reported at 3:35 p.m. Saturday in the 8800 block of Paseo de la Fuente, according to the San Diego Police Department.

The 40-year-old man was eastbound on a 2020 Yamaha Tenere 700 motorcycle when he crossed into the westbound lane and struck the curbline. He continued onto a sidewalk and hit a dirt embankment.

“The male suffered an open displaced fracture to the arm,” the SDPD said.

Paramedics took him to a hospital for treatment. Investigators say they do not believe alcohol was a factor in the crash.
