Greenbaum, 72, was transported to a Santa Rosa area hospital
with critical injuries on Saturday after the car he was riding
in made a left turn without seeing an oncoming motorcycle and
the vehicles collided, California Highway Patrol said.
The motorcyclist was "evidently unable to slow or stop in time
to avoid a collision," CHP said. The driver of the motorcycle, a
20-year old Santa Rosa resident, was pronounced dead at the
scene.
CHP said Bonita Kay Perea, 62, who was driving the vehicle
Greenbaum was riding in, said she did not see the oncoming
motorcycle and was unable to stop in time.
"Spirit in the Sky" sold two million singles in 1970, according
to Greenbaum's website.
Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital which was treating Greenbaum, a
Santa Rosa resident, declined to provide details about his
injuries.
A 20-year-old passenger on the motorcycle suffered critical
injuries and was transported to hospital and was being treated
in an intensive care unit.
