Dartmouth Police have released the name of the man who died while riding his motorcycle in the town this week.

Detective Kyle Costa says the victim was 24-year-old Daniel Ojuri of Fall River.

Ojuri was killed in the crash near 452 Potomska Road Tuesday night. The Bristol County District Attorney's Office says Ojuri was riding with a group of motorcyclists on Potomska Road when he pulled ahead of the group. Ojuri was negotiating an S-curve when he lost control of the motorcycle, crossing the double yellow line, and drove into the tree line. The DA's Office says Ojuri was launched from the bike and into a tree, striking it head-first.

The other motorcyclists saw the aftermath of the accident and flagged down a passing motorist who called 9-1-1. Ojuri was transported to St. Luke's Hospital where he was pronounced dead just after 8:30pm Tuesday.
