OCEANSIDE (CNS) - A 21-year-old motorcyclist from Camp Pendleton suffered major injuries when he struck the rear of a car, slid under a big rig and his legs became pinned under the trailer, California Highway Patrol sergeant said Sunday.

The crash was reported at 8 p.m. Saturday on the southbound San Diego (5) Freeway north of Cassidy Street, said Sgt. M. Kelley.

The crash occurred when the motorcyclist was southbound on the San Diego Freeway, "splitting traffic" between the two left lanes at 60 to 75 mph while traffic was congested and moving at 30 to 50 mph, Kelley said.

The driver of a 2005 Toyota Corolla checked her mirror and saw the center lane was clear so she began to move from the far left to the center lane and the motorcyclist collided into the rear of her car, the sergeant said.
