Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) detectives are investigating a traffic fatality that occurred on June 24.

According to a press release, at about 11:33 p.m. a 2006 Kawasaki motorcycle was reportedly driving at a high speed southbound in the 3600 block of Southern Avenue, SE.

“The motorcycle collided with a 2000 Ford F-150 pick-up truck. The motorcycle then lost control, mounted the curb, struck a tree, and the operator was thrown from the motorcycle,” the press release said. “The motorcycle then struck a telephone pole and then a 2015 Honda Accord.”

The motorcyclist, 28-year-old Kenneth Andre Brown Jr., was pronounced dead on scene.
