DA: Fatal Storrow crash caused when motorcyclist lost control

Storrow Drive's second fatal motorcycle crash in less than two weeks happened around 2:50 p.m. yesterday when a 35-year-old man from Brighton apparently lost control of his bike on the inbound side near the Bowker Overpass, striking a curb and then a pole, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office reports.

On Sept. 22, a Wakefield man died when he struck a Jersey barrier near the Longfellow Bridge.

While the fatalities yesterday and last month are still investigation, the evidence does not presently suggest that either one involved a second vehicle.
