responded to an injury crash on Park Road at the intersection of Abbey
Place. The collision involved a 2000 Honda Odyssey minivan and a 2006
Suzuki GSX-R motorcycle. It was reported by independent witnesses
that the motorcycle was accelerating quickly after completing a U-turn
and was traveling above the speed limit when it approached the
intersection.
The Honda van, driven by Ibrahim Noora Khaleel (Arabic Female, DOB

Abbey Place when the two collided. The motorcycle rider was ejected
from the motorcycle and came to rest approximately 50 feet from the

Khaleel was the sole occupant of the Honda and was uninjured.
Positive identification has been made of the decedent but next of kin
notification is pending. The identity will be released once family
has been contacted.
