Massachusetts State Police investigating fatal motorcycle crash

Sunday afternoon at about 2:43 p.m., Troopers from the State Police-Boston Barracks responded to a crash involving a motorcycle on Soldiers Field Road in Boston that resulted in the death of the operator.

Preliminary investigation indicates that Sarhad Karageuzian, a 35-year-old male from Waltham, was driving a 2002 Suzuki GSXR motorcycle on Soldiers Field Road westbound in Boston. The Suzuki struck the guardrail on the left side and crashed, ejecting Karageuzian. Speed is believed to be a contributing factor. No other vehicle was involved.

Karageuzian was determined to be deceased at the scene.

The westbound side of Soldiers Field Road was closed for approximately two and a half hours.

The crash remains under investigation with assistance from State Police Collision Analysis Reconstruction Section, Crime Scene Services Section, H Troop Detectives, and the Suffolk County State Police Detective Unit. Boston Fire and EMS assisted with the crash scene.
