UPDATE: Police Identify Victim of Fatal Motorcycle Crash

FAIRFAX COUNTY, VA -- A motorcyclist was killed in a crash Tuesday afternoon in the Vienna area, according to Fairfax County Police.

The crash occurred at Route 7/Leesburg Pike and Towlston Road (see map below), police said in an alert sent out at about 4 p.m. Tuesday on Twitter. The crash closed down Route 7 in both directions at Towlston Road for more than two hours.

Here's an update released this week from police:

Shortly before 4 p.m. Tuesday, a 2011 Chevrolet Cruze, driven by an 81-year-old woman from Potomac Falls, was traveling west on Route 7, approaching the intersection of Towlston Road. The intersection is controlled by a traffic signal and the light for westbound Route 7 was red. At about the same time, a 2008 Harley Davidson motorcycle, being operated by a 55-year-old man, was traveling south on Towlston Road, approaching the intersection of Route 7, on a green light.

As the motorcycle entered the intersection, the Chevrolet failed to stop for the red light on Route 7, entered the intersection and struck the motorcycle. The rider of the Harley Davidson, Joseph Thomas Timpane, was separated from the motorcycle and struck a 2012 Nissan Altima that was stopped in the left turn lane of eastbound Route 7. The Chevrolet then struck the Nissan and continued across the eastbound lanes of Route 7, striking a 2009 Honda Pilot before coming to rest. Timpane, of Ridgeview Drive in Springfield, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Speed and alcohol do not appear to be factors in this crash. Charges are pending against the driver of the Chevrolet Cruze.
