An 18-year-old motorcyclist was struck by a car driven by an unlicensed 15-year-old with passengers during a walkout at Heritage High School on Friday, authorities said.
The crash was reported around 9:30 a.m. Friday near the intersection of Briggs Road and Highway 74, where responding officers found an off-road motorcycle and a Nissan vehicle involved in the crash, according to the Menifee Police Department.
At the time of the collision, Heritage High School students were taking part in a walkout with approximately 200 students protesting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement presence in the area.
The motorcyclist reported a minor complaint of pain related to the crash, but he did not require hospital transportation, officials said.
The driver of the Nissan, an unlicensed 15-year-old, was also contacted along with passengers, but none of them was injured, police said. The passengers were also juveniles, according to the police department.
The Nissan driver allegedly attempted to make a U-turn to locate parking and join the walkout, and struck the motorcyclist. The teenager subsequently parked in a nearby lot and waited for police.
Investigators believe the crash was unintentional, and drugs and alcohol were not believed to be a factor.
Anyone with additional information about the accident is encouraged to contact Officer Clay from the Menifee PD Traffic Unit at 951-723-1566.
