Bill Mesa Dies in Motorcyle Accident...

Yesterday evening, shortly before 5 PM, William C. Mesa (pictured at right) was killed at the scene of a motorcycle accident. Apparently Bill lost control of his motorcycle and crashed into a utility pole. His passenger, Crystal Roberts-Mesa (Bill Mesa's son's wife), died while being transported in an ambulance for emergency care. Bill Mesa was 57; Crystal was 29. The accident occured on Lyons Valley Road, a short distance east of the stop-sign junction with Skyline Truck Trail.

The California Highway Patrol is hinting that alcohol is likely involved in the accident, though they're not saying why they think that.

Bill Mesa was a long-time leader of the Jamul Indian Tribe, and was the key advocate and activist behind the notion of the Jamul Indian Casino project – a forceful, effective, and dogged proponent who had worked for many years to push the project as far as it has gone. My readers will know that I am an opponent of the Jamul Casino project. While I had this rather intense disagreement with Bill (whom I have seen speaking a few times, but never actually met), I mourn this awful loss of life. My first thoughts are for the surviving families Bill and Crystal leave behind...
