Young Motorcyclist Decapitated in Freak Accident

A Ford Taurus crashed in a yard in San Bernardino, Calif., Tuesday morning, and the accident set off a series of events that ended in a freak tragedy. The Press-Enterprise reports that after the driver lost control and struck a mailbox, his car didn't stop in that home's yard but continued down Adams Street, ultimately hitting a wooden utility pole. The impact broke the pole in two, which moved a wire into the path of the roadway, reports the AP. Minutes later, a motorcyclist identified as Fabian Zepeda, 27, drove into the wire and was decapitated. Police do not believe the driver of the Taurus was intoxicated, and he has not been arrested.
