Motorcyclist goes flying after being hit by 15-year-old driver near Heritage HS, police say

It was a frightening scene for Heritage High School students who were participating in a walkout in Menifee Friday when a driver sent a motorcyclist flying away after a big collision.

Police said the driver of the Nissan seen on the video hitting the motorcyclist was a 15-year-old without a license.

The collision occurred near the intersection of Briggs Road and Highway 74 just before 9:30 a.m., according to the Menifee Police Department.

The teen allegedly turned around to find a parking space and join the students in the walkout. It was at this time that the 18-year-old motorcyclist was unintentionally hit.

The motorcyclist, the 15-year-old driver and the young passengers in the teen’s car are all OK and no arrests have been made, according to police. Drugs and/or alcohol are not believed to be contributing factors.

The motorcyclist reported minor pain but was not taken to a hospital, police said.

An investigation into the incident is underway.

Anyone with additional information is encouraged to contact Officer Clay of the Menifee Police Department’s Traffic Unit at (951) 723-1566 or the Traffic Unit at (951) 723-1500.

Students across Southern California came out in force Friday to protest ICE in their communities.

From Ventura County to the Inland Empire and everywhere in between, thousands took to the streets.

They chanted and held signs calling for an end to what they describe as aggressive federal immigration enforcement.
