A motorcyclist died in an early morning crash after losing control of his bike and being thrown into a retaining wall at a Colorado Springs intersection.
The accident happened at about 12:46 a.m. at an intersection where Tejon Street and Cheyenne Boulevard come together.
Witnesses saw the orange 2003 Suzuki SV 1000 go out of control and leave the roadway. “The decedent was not wearing a safety helmet and alcohol is suspected as a factor of the crash,” according to the Springs police web site.
Police have not yet released the rider’s name pending notification of next of kin. Traffic was detoured from the area until after 3 a.m.
