A Dale City pastor was killed in a weekend motorcycle crash.
Prince William County police said Elijah Byrd was killed when he lost control of his Harley Davidson and struck a tree on Joplin Road in Triangle shortly before 3 p.m. Saturday. He was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Byrd was a pastor at Open Arms Pentecostal Free Will Baptist Church, InsideNova.com reports. He had worked for the church since 1981.
Excess speed appears to have been a factor in the crash, police said.
