Teen killed in motorcycle crash

A 17-year-old Gloucester boy was killed on impact when he lost control of his motorcycle on Kondelin Road last night and slammed into a parked tractor trailer truck just after 9:30 p.m., police said.
Police declined to release the name of the teen.
Many of the details of the accident were still being investigated late last night.
Pieces of the motorcycle littered the road for several hundred feet near the end of Kondelin Road, next to the former Waste Management of Gloucester building. The dead-end road was blocked by police. Groups of teens who had heard about the accident gathered at the police blockade with worried faces, many in tears.
Kondelin Road is home to the Cape Ann Industrial Park. When the businesses are closed at night, the secluded street has traditionally been a place where people dump trash, park illegally or drag race on the street.
Police said last night they believe speed, not alcohol, was a factor in the accident.
Firefighters and police were still at the scene two hours after the accident happened. The body of the teen had not been removed.
Gloucester police Lt. Jerris Cook said the state police accident reconstruction team was also called in and the state medical examiner's office was contacted.

So .. the rest of the story goes like this ... first wheelie the kid pulled up, riding it out,visibility wasn't great cause it was a dark industrial park at night .... drifted into the trailer at like 80 without even seeing the thing. I think he had an '04 R1
