A Virginia man was killed late Saturday in Woodbridge after losing control of his motorcycle and crashing into a guardrail, police said.

The Prince William County Police Department said the crash happened as Michael Layne Hall, 36, of Woodbridge, was traveling on the eastbound lanes of Old Bridge Road, just as he approached Colby Drive.

“The operator attempted to navigate a right curve in the roadway and crossed into the median, before striking a traffic sign and guardrail,” police said in a Sunday release.

Prince William County officers responded to the Woodbridge scene shortly before 11 p.m.

Preliminary findings by police indicate speed played a factor in the crash. The motorcycle Hall was operating was identified as a 2014 Yamaha CYL – (M) YZF-R1, according to police.

Authorities said Hall was pronounced dead at a local hospital.

Anyone with information related to the crash is asked to contact Prince William County Police at 703-792-6500 or submit a tip online at pwcva.gov/policetip.

After nearly 50 years, Dale City Music is closing

After nearly five decades serving musicians, students and families from the same Dale Boulevard location, Dale City Music is preparing to close its doors, ending a 48-year run as a locally owned music store and community resource, according to multiple sources. The store, at 4367 Dale Blvd., is slated to close July 31. An employee, Adren Harris, told InsideNoVa the owners decided to shut down amid rising commercial rents and concerns about taking on unsustainable debt. “Our last day of normal business will be this Friday,” Harris said. Harris said the store’s owners determined closing was preferable to continuing under increasingly difficult financial conditions.
