Motorcyclist Dead After Fatal Crash in McLean District

Posted on by

McLean Police District – Detectives from our Crash Reconstruction Unit are investigating a fatal crash that left a 20-year-old motorcyclist dead yesterday afternoon in the Falls Church area of Fairfax County. Officers were called to the intersection of Arlington Boulevard (Route 50) and South Street around 4 p.m. after a 2011 Nissan Versa and a 2016 Kawasaki motorcycle collided. A preliminary investigation revealed the driver of the Versa was making a left turn from westbound Route 50 on to South Street when the motorcycle traveling eastbound struck the front of the car.

The motorcyclist, Mark Green-Smith, of Falls Church, was pronounced dead at the scene. No one in the Versa was injured. Alcohol does not appear to be a factor for either driver. Detectives are looking into the possibility speed may have been a factor for the motorcyclist, but it is still early on in the investigation.
