LA MESA, Calif. — A motorcyclist was killed Thursday night when he crashed into a telephone pole in La Mesa.
Just before 7 p.m., a 56-year-old man was riding a 2012 BMW motorcycle southbound in the 5800 block of Nagel Street when he lost control and collided with a telephone pole on the curb, according to La Mesa police.
