An 18-year-old Southeast D.C. resident, Francisco Benavides, died after a motorcycle crash on Suitland Parkway near Stanton Road. Police found the motorcycle at the scene late Saturday night but could not locate its rider; officers searching the area the next day found Benavides critically injured, and he was pronounced dead. Investigators believe he was traveling at an accelerated speed when he lost control, struck a guardrail and was thrown from the motorcycle, which continued into a ditch. The crash remains under investigation.
