VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — A man was killed after a motorcycle and SUV crashed in Virginia Beach on Saturday morning.
The police department said the collision happened just after 11:30 a.m. in the 3600 block of Charity Neck Road in Pungo.
Investigators haven't said what might have contributed to the crash, but said the SUV and motorcycle ran into each other head-on.
The motorcyclist, 41-year-old Dennis Whitby, died at the scene. He was a Virginia Beach resident, and a P.E. teacher at Greenbrier Middle School in Chesapeake.
