A Reston man was killed last week after his motorcycle apparently veered off a rural Loudoun County road.
The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) responded to the 20000 block of Airmont Road in Bluemont last Thursday (April 3) afternoon for a motorcycle crash, according to a press release.
While the actual crash time hasn’t been determined yet, the initial 911 call came in at 4:08 p.m., an LCSO spokesperson said.
According to a preliminary investigation, Olim Dalerovich Mannonov, a 22-year-old Reston resident, appears to have been traveling north on a motorcycle when he drove off the right side of Airmont Road “before striking multiple trees and a stone wall,” the sheriff’s office said.
Mannonov died at the scene of the crash.
Detectives believe it was a single-vehicle crash, but an investigation is still underway. Law enforcement officials are now seeking witnesses who might have more information about the crash.
“The LCSO is asking anyone who witnessed this crash or may have any relevant information to contact Detective Lotz at (703) 777-1021,” the sheriff’s office said.
Based on preliminary state data, this appears to be the first fatal crash involving a motorcycle in Loudoun County so far this year, though the county had three such fatalities in 2024 and six in 2023.
In Fairfax County, a motorcyclist died on Feb. 23 after apparently losing control on the ramp from southbound Route 28 (Sully Road) to the I-66 West Express Lanes in Centreville. The county saw a staggering 11 fatal motorcycle crashes last year and seven each in 2022 and 2023.
