A Virginia man was killed late Saturday in Woodbridge after losing control of his motorcycle and crashing into a guardrail, police said.

The Prince William County Police Department said the crash happened as Michael Layne Hall, a 36-year-old from Woodbridge, was traveling on the eastbound lanes of Old Bridge Road, just as he approached Colby Drive.

“The operator attempted to navigate a right curve in the roadway and crossed into the median, before striking a traffic sign and guardrail,” police said in a Sunday release.

Prince William County officers responded to the Woodbridge scene shortly before 11 p.m.

Preliminary findings by police indicate speed played a factor in the crash. The motorcycle Hall was operating was identified as a 2014 Yamaha CYL – (M) YZF-R1, according to police.

Authorities said Hall was pronounced dead at a local hospital.

Anyone with information related to the crash is asked to contact Prince William County Police at 703-792-6500 or submit a tip online at pwcva.gov/policetip.
