Speed may have been a factor in a motorcycle crash that killed a U.S. Army soldier on Farrington Highway near Fort Weaver Road last night, police said.

The crash happened at about 9:56 p.m. on Farrington Highway just east of the Fort Weaver Road overpass.

Police said the 45-year-old Ewa Beach resident was driving a black 2008 Kawasaki Ninja VX6R and had just made a turn onto Farrington Highway when he lost control of the motorcycle.

The victim was not wearing a helmet. Police said they have not determined if alcohol was also a factor in the crash.
