Baldwin Lake, CA, May 11, 2014 – Investigators can’t say for sure what made a 39-year-old Barstow resident lose control of his motorcycle yesterday, in a fatal accident that slowed traffic for hours.
There was a Wind Advisory in place at the time of the incident, with conditions especially gusty on desert slopes.
