CAPE CHARLES, Va. — An 20-year-old Cape Charles man driving an unregistered motorcycle above the speed limit died Monday after crashing into a ditch, which propelled him into a light pole, according to Virginia State Police.

The crash happened around 6:15 p.m. Monday on Fairview Road south of Seaview Drive, where police found Aberlardo Gonzalez-Demers, 20, at the scene already dead.

Police say he was driving above the posted speed limit, lost control, and ran off into a ditch before he was thrown into a light pole.

Gonzalez-Demers was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash, police said.
