A major traffic accident involving a motorcycle led to the closure of the westbound lanes of Railroad Canyon Road for several hours on Tuesday. The incident occurred around 5:30 p.m. near Country Club Drive in the City of Canyon Lake.
The Canyon Lake Fire Department, along with deputies assigned to the Lake Elsinore Sheriff’s Station, responded to the scene and located a motorcyclist who had been ejected from the motorcycle. Life-saving measures were performed.
The motorcyclist, identified as 64-year-old Danny Feeley of Wildomar, was transported to a local hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries on Thursday, January 23.
“Alcohol or drugs are suspected to be a factor in the collision,” the Sheriff’s Department said.
Feeley’s wife, Sue, expressed her gratitude to everyone who assisted her husband, saying, “Thank you to everyone who responded to his incident, from the woman who called 911 to the firefighter who performed CPR.”
Sue Feeley shared that her husband was a heavy equipment operator, who recently retired and received his first pension check.
Feeley is survived by his wife, step-daughter and step-son, two sisters, two brothers, five grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, and several nieces and nephews.
Anyone who may have witnessed this accident is asked to contact Deputy Grisso at 951-245-3000.
