Pacifica Man Involved in Three-Vehicle Coastal Crash

A Pacifica man was involved in a multivehicle wreck Sunday morning in West Marin that resulted in a motorcyclist being airlifted with several injuries, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The motorcyclist, Oscar Breuning, 32, of San Francisco, was headed north on Highway 1 just south of Fairfax-Bolinas Road when he missed a curve on his 2005 Suzuki, CHP Sgt. Eric Hohmeister said.

Breuning struck a Honda Accord driven by Yuri Desyatnik, 42 of Pacifica, and became separated from his bike and sailed into minivan driven by a San Anselmo woman with five children, Hohmeister said.

Desyatnik declined medical treatment for an arm injury. His two passengers were unhurt.

Meghan McCarthy, 31, was riding in a Toyota Siena with the children at about 10:50 a.m. when the motorcyclist was ejected and slammed into the left front side of her van.

Medical units arrived and treated him for a broken femur, a laceration to his lower back and abrasions, according to the CHP. A helicopter landed at 11:25 a.m. and took him to John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek with injuries not deemed life-threatening.

McCarthy and the children were not injured in the crash.

Highway 1 was closed for about an hour.
