A motorcyclist was killed Friday in a collision with a compact car on a residential street in El Cajon.

The accident occurred shortly before noon, when the driver of an eastbound Hyundai Elantra made a left turn directly in the path of the oncoming two-wheeler in the 1600 block of Pepper Drive, according to El Cajon Police.

The resulting collision killed the motorcyclist at the scene, Lt. Randy Soulard said. The victim’s name was withheld pending family notification.

The motorist, a woman in her 60s, was uninjured, the lieutenant said. It was unclear if she might face charges over the fatal accident.
