OC Motorcycle Crash Victim Identified

Ocean City Police Badge

OCEAN CITY, Md. (AP) - Ocean City Police say a motorcycle operator was killed when his vehicle crashed into a pickup truck on Coastal Highway.

The Salisbury Daily Times reports that an official with the Montgomery County public schools say the man killed was Eric Del Marr, who worked as a diesel mechanic.

Department spokeswoman Lindsay Richard tells media outlets that the crash occurred just after noon on Thursday. She says authorities saw the motorcycle operator commit traffic violations and tried to conduct a traffic stop.

Police say the motorcyclist sped off, and officers did not pursue him.

Richard says moments later, the motorcycle crashed with a pickup truck. The motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the scene.

The pickup truck driver was not hurt.
