1 dead in Ortega Highway crash in Riverside County

One person died and another had to be airlifted for treatment late Sunday morning following a two-motorcycle crash on Ortega Highway near Ortega Oaks, site of the San Juan Loop trailhead and the landmark Ortega Oaks Candy Store in Riverside County, authorities said.
A earlier crash on the highway, about three miles to the northeast, may have contributed to the second, fatal one.
The California Highway Patrol log said the fatal crash southwest of Lake Elsinore was reported just before 11 a.m. and
