Delaware State Police are investigating a single-vehicle fatal motorcycle crash that occurred Friday morning in Greenwood.
Officials said on August 29, 2025, at approximately 7:10 a.m., a gray Kawasaki ZX6 motorcycle was traveling westbound at a high rate of speed on Beach Highway, west of Webb Farm Road. The Kawasaki entered the eastbound lane to pass two vehicles that were traveling in the same direction. As the Kawasaki came back into the westbound lane, the rider lost control, and the motorcycle began to skid. The Kawasaki came off the roadway and struck a utility pole. The impact caused the rider to be ejected from the Kawasaki.
The 39-year-old male rider from Dover, Delaware, was pronounced dead at the scene. His name is being withheld until his family is notified.
At the time of the crash, the roadway was closed for approximately 5 hours while troopers investigated and cleared the scene.
