More from CamarilloA Camarillo woman broke her jaw and clavicle Monday afternoon when her motorcycle hit a minivan, authorities said.
Sally Birins, 47, was riding west on Beardsley Road near Wright Road just outside Camarillo at a high speed when she lost control of the motorcycle, said Shawna Davison, a spokeswoman for the California Highway Patrol in Ventura. Birins' motorcycle crossed into the opposing lane of traffic, hitting a minivan driven by Monica Carter, 42, of Camarillo.
Birins was thrown from the motorcycle, Davison said, and taken to St. John's Regional Medical Center in Oxnard. Carter and her daughter got out of the minivan before it burst into flames, Davison said. Neither was injured.
Several eucalyptus trees caught on fire, but Ventura County firefighters extinguished the flames.

It's a lot safer to drive a car.

Thank God they were able to get out of the van before the fire spread!
Also I hope Sally makes a full recovery !
