The Virginia State Police is investigating after a motorcyclist was killed in a two-vehicle crash in York County.

According to police, the crash happened at 9:56 p.m. Friday night on I-64 at the 242 mile marker.

Witnesses say a motorcycle was traveling at a high rate of speed in the westbound lanes and passing traffic on the right shoulder. Just as the motorcycle re-entered the travel lane, another vehicle merged into the same lane and the two vehicles collided.

The motorcyclist, 39-year-old Antuan J. White, of Williamsburg, was thrown from the motorcycle and died at the scene.

Neither the other vehicle's driver nor the passenger was injured in the crash.
