MODJESKA CANYON, CA : 4 killed in motorcycle collision on Santiago Canyon Road near Modjeska Canyon Road on Sunday, 7th July 2019

Four people were killed Sunday in a head-on collision between two motorcycles in the Modjeska Canyon area of Orange County, officials said.

The crash was reported around 4:30 p.m. on Santiago Canyon Road near Modjeska Canyon Road, according to the CHP.

Santiago Canyon was closed in both directions from Silverado Canyon to Hicks Haul Road.

Investigators say the two motorcycles were heading in opposite directions when the one heading northbound tried to pass a Scion tC and slammed into the other motorcycle heading southbound.

Two men motorcyclists and their two female passengers died at the scene. All of the motorcycle riders were wearing helmets.

Officials say that section of Santiago Canyon Road has a double yellow line, meaning it is illegal to pass traffic. It is hard to see oncoming traffic in the area because of curves in the road, they said.
