Virginia Beach motorcyclist killed in Shore Drive crash


Posted on Jul 29, 2009

A motorcycle rider killed after he lost control of his motorcycle and crashed into a Ford Taurus has been identified by police as Matthew Mason, 24, of Bantry Lane in Virginia Beach.

 

Saturday morning Mason was speeding westbound in the 5700 block of Shore Drive on his Honda motorcycle when he lost control.  Mason drove through a grassy road median, hit a ‘Welcome to Virginia’ sign, and ended up in the eastbound lanes of Shore Drive where he then hit the ’91 Taurus.

 

Mason was taken to a local hospital for treatment, but he died from injuries he sustained in the crash.  According to police Mason was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash, but the accident was complicated by the high rate of speed he was traveling at.

 

The driver of the Taurus suffered minor injuries in the accident.  Police are currently investigating whether or not alcohol was a factor in the crash.

 

Nationwide, motorcycle accidents account for 13% of all traffic fatalities and speeding motorcyclists are much more likely to be killed in a crash than car or truck drivers.
