AURORA | A motorcycle rider was killed Monday afternoon when he lost control of his bike and crashed in a curve on a southeast Aurora street, police said.

Police said the rider, an 18-year-old man, crashed at East Jamison Circle and East Smoky Hill Road at about 3 p.m.

“He was transported to the hospital where he later died from his injuries,” Aurora police spokesperson Matthew Wells-Longshore said in a statement. “No other vehicles or people were involved.”

Sections of the road were closed for several hours during an investigation of the crash.
