A Saturday evening motorcycle crash has claimed the life of a Virginia Beach woman. E. Carla Mitchell, 43, has been identified as the fatal victim. The accident happened on Saturday, September 20, shortly before 8:00 p.m. in the 2100 block of Princess Anne Road.

Police say Mitchell was traveling southbound on Princess Anne Road on her 2005 custom trike (three-wheeled) motorcycle when she veered off the right-hand side of the road, sending her airborne. The motorcycle then flipped, ejecting Mitchell from trike. Mitchell was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. She was flown to a local hospital via Nightingale, where she later died of her injuries.

It has not been determined whether or not alcohol was a factor in this crash. The accident remains under investigation.
