Motorcyclist killed in Chevy Chase crash, shutting down Connecticut Avenue for hours
A motorcyclist died in a crash in Chevy Chase, Maryland, early Tuesday, shutting down a busy stretch of Connecticut Avenue for hours, police said.
A vehicle and a motorcyclist crashed near Manor Road and Connecticut Avenue, and officers responded about 6:15 a.m., Montgomery County police said.
Connecticut Avenue is closed between Manor Road and Jones Bridge Road, the Metropolitan Area Transportation Operations Coordination (MATOC) Program said about 10 a.m. Commuters should expect delays and look for other routes.
Access to Connecticut Avenue (also called MD-185) was blocked from the Inner and Outer loops of the Beltway, the MATOC Program said.
“An extended closure is expected,” they said.
The crash happened about a half-mile south of the Capital Beltway (I-495) exit for Connecticut Avenue.
Information on the identity of the motorcyclist and the cause of the crash wasn’t immediately released.
