An Alexandria man was killed when he was tossed from his motorcycle in a Fairfax County crash.

Fairfax County police said 43-year-old Hassan Lowe was driving south on North Kings Highway just before 7:30 p.m. Wednesday when he collided with a northbound car that was turning onto Fort Drive.

Lowe was thrown from his motorcycle and was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The other driver, a 45-year-old woman, remained at the scene.

Police said speed and alcohol do not appear to factors in the crash, but the collision is still under investigation.
