It's always tough to hear about a biker fatality, but when it's someone in our small community of R3 owners killed by a careless cager, it's all the harder. Does anyone here know this Captain?

A man killed when he was thrown from his motorcycle on northbound State Route 79 in Banning was identified today as a Highland resident. 61-year-old Steven Hiltner was pronounced dead at a hospital following the crash south of Gilman Springs Road Wednesday. The CHP says Hiltner was riding a Triumph Rocket III when he was forced to swerve to avoid striking a Dodge Ram after the Dodge driver made an illegal U-turn directly in front of him. The Ram was driven by a 60-year-old man. Hiltner tried to avoid the Dodge, but struck its corner and was thrown from the motorcycle, which then hit a Ford Crown Victoria. No one else was injured. Charges are pending.
