The identities of the two motorcyclists killed on Highway 101 this past Sunday, has been released by the California Highway Patrol (CHP).

On 10-15-17 at approximately 7:56 a.m., Raymond Lee Ryals, an 84-year-old Atascadero man, and his passenger Solrun Cammarta, a 77-year-old Thousand Oaks woman, were traveling southbound on Highway 101, just south of SR-154. They were traveling on a 2007 Honda Goldwing Trike at an unknown rate of speed. For unknown reasons, Ryals failed to safely negotiate curvature in the roadway, reports CHP.

The Goldwing Trike traveled in a south-easterly direction where the left side of the Trike struck the metal guard rail, fully ejecting both parties. Ryals impacted the metal guardrail and died at the scene as a result of the injuries. After being ejected, Cammarta impacted the asphalt roadway causing fatal injuries, reports CHP.

CHP is asking for anyone with information on this collision to contact them at 805-688-5551.
