A 68-year-old Temecula man was fatally injured in a motocross accident Wednesday morning in Anza, authorities said.

Coroner’s officials identified the man as David Jacobus.

Jacobus was wearing a helmet and riding a 2015 Honda CFE 450 at the Cahuilla Motor Cross Track off Highway 371 when he crashed about 10:15 a.m., a California Highway Patrol news release said.

Jacobus failed to negotiate a sweeping left curve on the motorcross track and struck a large sage bush. He was thrown from the bike and landed about 100 feet away.

Bystanders at the track performed CPR but he died at the scene, CHP officials said.
