Tecate, California –
A 42-year-old woman from La Mesa was crushed to death by a bus while riding on the back of a motorcycle on a steep, winding grade just northeast of the Tecate border crossing with Mexico on the California side in Tecate, California.
Debra Louise Allen, 42, of La Mesa, was on the back of a 2003 Harley Davidson motorcycle at about 10 a.m. Saturday when the crash occurred on Highway 94 just east of the Tecate junction, according to a report by the medical examiner.
The motorcycle was passing the bus on the winding hill and hit it while moving back into the lane, said a California Highway Patrol dispatcher.
Allen was run over and crushed, and the driver of the motorcycle was pushed to the side of the road. His name was withheld, and the CHP did not have the extent of the driver’s injuries.
The bus was operated by a private charter company and was transporting people detained by federal immigration agents. The bus driver told CHP officers the motorcycle’s driver had cut him off.
