CARLSBAD, Calif.—One person was killed Aug. 15 and two others were seriously hurt when a motorcycle crashed into a bicycle on an ocean-front street in Carlsbad, authorities reported.

The fatal collision on Carlsbad Boulevard near Palomar Airport Road occurred at about 1 p.m., as the motorcyclist was fleeing to the north from a state parks officer trying to pull him over for speeding and reckless riding, according to the police.

The bicyclist, described only as male, died at the scene of the crash.

Paramedics took the 28-year-old man who had been piloting the motorcycle and a 22-year-old woman who had been a passenger aboard them to a hospital for treatment of severe injuries.

The names of the three were not immediately available.
