A 19-year-old Manassas man died Thursday night after his motorcycle collided with a car at a busy Bristow intersection, Prince William County Police said.
Officers responded just before 8 p.m. on November 1 to the area of Linton Hall Road and Nokesville Road. According to police, an officer was conducting speed enforcement nearby when he saw a 2004 Kawasaki ZX-6R traveling southbound at a high speed on Nokesville Road. As the officer activated his emergency lights, the motorcyclist turned off his headlights and sped off toward Linton Hall Road.
At the intersection, a 2024 Nissan Sentra was making a right turn on red from Linton Hall Road onto Nokesville Road when the motorcycle struck the car. The motorcyclist, identified as Edwin Stephen Essiaw, was taken to a local hospital, where he later died. The 50-year-old woman driving the Nissan, from Bealeton, sustained minor injuries.
