Aguilar was traveling in the right, thru lane when the SUV cut in front of him. The motorcycle crashed into the passenger side of the SUV sending Aguilar flying. He landed hard on the pavement. Both the SUVs driver and Aguilar were rushed to Memorial Regional Hospital. The driver escaped with minor injuries but Aguilar wasn’t as fortunate.
