“It is with a heavy heart that these words are written, we lost our beloved Isaac very suddenly and unexpectedly early Saturday morning,” Joseph Romero stated. “Our hearts are broken and our world has forever changed.”

On Saturday morning, just after 1:15 a.m., the 21-year-old was driving a 2000 Ford Explorer at an unknown speed eastbound on State Route 74 just west of Grand Avenue in the Lake Elsinore area. For unknown reasons, the vehicle veered to the right, leaving the roadway and crashing into a tree.

According to the family, a memorial service was planned for May 17. The fundraiser has raised $6,500 to date.

“Any contribution, big or small, would mean so much to our family as we try to honor his memory and give him the farewell he deserves,” Romero said. “Thank you for all the love, support, kindness, and comfort during this difficult time.”

At approximately 9:17 p.m., the 44-year-old motorcyclist was riding westbound on SR-74 on a Honda CBF nearing Betty Road in unincorporated Perris. He was traveling at an undetermined speed and did not have a signal or stop sign.

A 52-year-old Hesperia woman behind the wheel of a Toyota Highlander was on Betty Road nearing SR-74. She had a stop sign at the T intersection and complied, but apparently did not see the motorcyclist and pulled in front of him, the CHP reported.

The man could not stop his bike in time and crashed into the SUV. He was ejected and died at the scene. He was wearing a helmet, according to the CHP.

The man’s identity is pending notification of next of kin.

The woman and her 53-year-old male passenger were not injured, the CHP reported.

Alcohol and/or drugs are not suspected to be crash factors, and there were no arrests, but charges “may be pending” as the investigation progresses, CHP Officer Mike Lassig said.

Anyone who witnessed the incident is asked to call the CHP, Temecula Area office at 951-466-4300.
