Motorcyclist Dies after Crashing into Pickup Truck on Highway 58 near West Pozo Road
SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA (June 5, 2023) – Peggy Masuda was killed in a motorcycle accident in San Luis Obispo Saturday afternoon on June 3.
The fatal accident happened around 1:46 p.m. on Highway 58, just north of West Pozo Road. According to the California Highway Patrol, Masuda was riding a 2007 Harley Davidson Softail motorcycle southbound on Highway 58 at an unknown speed. Meanwhile, 74-year-old Danny Oster was driving a Ford Raptor northbound on the same route at 35 mph.
For unknown reasons, Masuda drifted over a set of double yellow lines which delineate the northbound and southbound lane. As a result, she drifted directly into the path of the Ford and the vehicles collided.
First responders rushed Masuda to Sierra Vista Regional Medical Center in San Luis Obispo.
Despite life-saving efforts at the hospital, Masuda was pronounced dead. She was 52 years old from Oxnard.
Oster only sustained minor injuries and was not hospitalized.
Drugs or alcohol was not a factor in the crash, which remains under investigation.
We send our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Peggy Masuda.
