POTOMAC, MD – The Montgomery County Department of Police is investigating a fatal collision on Friday on Falls Road in Potomac.

Police said that at approximately 5:10 p.m., officers and Montgomery County Fire Rescue personnel responded to the Normandie Farm Restaurant entrance, where a single motorcycle collision had occurred.

MCPD detectives said that the operator of a grey 2019 Ducati Diavel motorcycle was traveling southbound on Falls Road from the area of Potomac Tennis Club Lane, toward Democracy Boulevard.

“For reasons still under investigation, the motorcycle left the right side of the roadway and struck a granite retaining wall. The motorcyclist was ejected from the motorcycle and landed in the entranceway of the Normandie Farm Restaurant,” the department said. “There is no physical evidence that would suggest another vehicle was involved.”

The adult male victim was transported to an area hospital with life-threatening injuries.

The victim, identified as 60-year-old William Herndon True, Jr., of Potomac, succumbed to his injuries on Sunday, April 3, as a result of the injuries he sustained in the collision.
