Rockville Man Killed in Motorcycle Crash

A Rockville man was killed in single motorcycle crash Thursday on westbound I-370 at Rockville Pike in Gaithersburg.

Armon Kossari, 23, was driving a 2016 Yamaha motorcycle at 7:06 p.m.. According to Maryland State Police, Kossari lost control of his motorcycle, causing it to overturn. He was ejected, coming to rest in the center median of I-370. He was pronounced dead at the scene by Montgomery County Fire and Rescue.

Speed and reckless operation of the motorcycle are believed to be factors in the crash, police said.  They do not believe alcohol was a factor.

Anyone with information should contact the Maryland State Police Rockville Barrack at 301-424-2101.

Collision reconstruction investigation closes all westbound lanes of I-370 at Exit 2 (Frederick Rd/MD 355). This will be an extended closure. Seek alternate route. #MdTraffic
