A motorist was jailed on suspicion of being under the influence of drugs when he struck a motorcycle Saturday near Pala, critically injuring the two riders.

The names and ages of the man driving the Kawasaki motorcycle and his passenger, a woman, were not immediately available.

They were headed west on state Route 76 east of Couser Canyon Road about 2:30 p.m. when they were struck by an eastbound pickup that drifted into their lane, California Highway Patrol Officer Jim Bettencourt said.

He said the driver of a Dodge Ram, Michael Inglett, 36, from Pala, was eastbound at 65 to 85 mph and looking in his rear view mirror when he swerved out of his lane. He was arrested on suspicion of felony driving under the influence of drugs.

Paramedics took the motorcycle riders to Palomar Medical Center in Escondido with major injuries, Bettencourt said.
