A Fauquier County man was killed early Monday when he lost control of a motorcycle he was operating as he traveled into Washington, D.C. via the Theodore Roosevelt Bridge over the Potomac River, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.
James Greene, 50, of Catlett suffered head injuries and was pronounced dead at George Washington University Hospital in the District shortly thereafter.
