PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) - One man died late Wednesday night after he lost control of his motorcycle on northbound I-95 in Providence.
State Police confirm for Eyewitness News that a Barrington man was killed after losing control of his motorcycle near Exit 18 late Wednesday night.
The victim has been identified as 33-year-old Anthony Larisa.
Police say he and two other bikers were speeding when Larisa's Honda motorcycle crashed into the jersey barrier in the low-speed lane of the Thurbers Avenue curve.
Larisa and the motorcycle were thrown over the barrier, landing in the brush below.
Emergency crews pronounced Larisa dead at the scene. Police say he was not wearing a helmet.
The accident is drawing comparisons to one over the weekend in Pawtucket. A Central Falls man was killed after his motorcycle hit a jersey barrier on 95 north. That driver was also not wearing a helmet.
