Authorities identify motorcyclist killed in Ramona
Authorities on Wednesday publicly identified a 55-year-old man killed in a motorcycle crash Monday in Ramona.
Thomas Andrew Grettenberger of San Diego apparently crashed his 2016 Harley-Davidson while riding with a friend on westbound state Route 78 late Monday afternoon. Grettenberger’s companion glanced back to check on him near Sutherland Dam Road, but he was no longer on the road, according to the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office.
Grettenberger was spotted down an embankment shortly afterward. He died at the scene shortly before 5 p.m. despite bystanders and first responders attempting to revive him, authorities said.
