October 20, 2018 (La Mesa) -- La Mesa Police are advising motorcylists to “please slow down and be careful, your life may depend on it,” after investigating four accidents involving serious motorcycle collisions including a fatality crash in the past six weeks.  “Excessive speed has been a factor in all of these crashes,” a tweet sent by LMSD states.  #Slowdown #drivesafe

The latest occurred Monday at the intersection of University Avenue and Baltimore Drive, when a 56-year-old motorcyclist on a Harley Davidson failed to turn at an intersection and crashed into a parking lot, sliding 100 feet and breaking several bones.
