Two Orange County residents have been killed in a Colorado motorcycle accident, according to a news report.
The Colorado State Patrol said that Michael Katke, 65, of San Clemente, and Angel Philp, 52, of San Juan Capistrano, were on a motorcycle traveling east on U.S. 36 near Lefthand Canyon when they were hit by a Jeep attempting to make a left turn. Katke and Philp were pronounced dead at the scene.
A Colorado State Patrol officer said that the Jeep turned into the path of the motorcycle and that the Jeep driver would likely face charges in the two deaths. The Jeep driver was not injured in the fatal crash, which remains under investigation.
