Man Dies of Injuries After DUI Motorcycle Wreck

A Valley Springs man who was severely injured after a DUI motorcycle wreck has died.

The California Highway Patrol says 36-year-old Paul Cavagnaro allowed his 2003 Harley Davidson to drift off the roadway while negotiating a curve on Quail Oaks Road in Valley Springs, back on Saturday, March 20th.

The motorcycle flipped over and ejected Cavagnaro and his passenger, 45-year-old Lisa Copeland.

He was pronounced dead Friday morning.

Lisa Copeland suffered only minor injuries, and was treated and released from Mark Twain Hospital in San Andreas.
