A motorcyclist who was involved in a crash on Interstate 395 and fell into the Patapsco River has died, the Maryland Transportation Authority said Tuesday.

The Baltimore City Fire Department said the crash on southbound I-395 occurred around 12:40 p.m. Monday, sending the motorcyclist over a Jersey wall.

“Responding officers determined a black Kawasaki motorcycle had been involved in a single-vehicle crash. The driver of the motorcycle was ejected from the motorcycle and fell to the water below the ramp,” the MDTA said in a news release.

A dive rescue team responded and located the male victim within minutes. Crews found the victim lying in the water, unconscious and nonresponsive, according to the Fire Department.

The rescue team administered life support care and CPR. The fire department said the motorcyclist received additional treatment at the scene and was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Authorities hadn’t released the victim’s identity as of Tuesday afternoon.

It is not yet known what caused the crash. The MDTA Police are investigating and are asking any witnesses to call 410-537-1209.
