An off-duty Prince George's County, MD, police officer was killed on the Capital Beltway in a crash that threw him from his motorcycle and into traffic.

Chief Hank Stawinski said, "The Prince George's County Police family is broken hearted at the loss of this young officer and only son. He was well respected and loved by his fellow officers. I, on behalf of all of us who were at the hospital and all those who couldn't be, extend our deepest condolences to his family."
