Meanwhile, Virginia State Police have released dashcam footage of a motorcycle crash that killed a Woodbridge man on Sunday, July 26. Nibeya Tesfaye, 24, was killed when his bike hit a wall on an entrance ramp taking drivers from the Capital Beltway to Interstate 95 south in Springfield.

“Virginia State Police Trooper M. Spalding observed a group of six motorcycles traveling west on I-495 at a high rate of speed. As the trooper pulled in behind the pack of motorcycles, two of the motorcycles accelerated in speed and pulled away from the group. At this point, the trooper activated his lights and siren to initiate a traffic stop on the speeding vehicles. The motorcycles accelerated again and took the Exit 170C ramp from westbound I-495 to southbound I-95,” Virginia State Police said.

Police did not locate the other bikers. Online commenters accuse the pursing Virginia State Police trooper of colliding with the victim, causing the crash. The video shows otherwise.
