SAN DIEGO (KGTV) -- A 26-year-old was hospitalized late Saturday night after being struck by an SUV while riding his motorcycle.

The rider flew off the bike when police say he hit a parked car with his head. He was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. 

Officers were able to catch up to and arrest Green several blocks away from the scene of the crash.
