VBPD Investigates Fatal Crash Involving Motorcycle on Indian River Road

On January 26, 2024, at approximately 2:40 PM, the Emergency Communications and Citizen Services (ECCS) received a call reporting a two-vehicle crash involving a motorcycle in the 1800 block of Indian River Road. Officers from the Virginia Beach Police Department (VBPD) and personnel from the Virginia Beach Fire Department and Emergency Medical Services responded.

The driver of the motorcycle, identified as Jacob Keene (M/25) of Chesapeake, was pronounced deceased at the scene. An adult female passenger of the motorcycle was transported to the hospital in critical condition.
