NEW MARKET, Md. — A motorcycle rider died Sunday afternoon after losing control while speeding along I-70 in Frederick County.
Maryland State Police said 22-year-old Joshua Somtochukwu Ikerionwu was among three motorcycle riders traveling at a high rate of speed on the eastbound side of the interstate, just shy of Bill Moxley Road.
Investigators believe Ikerionwu slid into a guardrail, killing him.
I-70 traffic was closed for an extended period of time between the New Market and Mt. Airy exits following the wreck.
