FROM STNG WIRE REPORTS
A 33-year-old motorcyclist was killed in a crash late Saturday not far from his Near West Side home.
The police Major Accident Investigation Unit was trying to determine Sunday why the motorcyclist, identified as Edward Massas, lost control of his bike in the 700 block of North Racine Avenue about 11:30 p.m. Saturday, according to police News Affairs Officer John Henry.
The motorcycle exited the Eisenhower Expressway (I-290) at Racine Avenue when Massas lost control of the bike and was ejected from his seat, according to News Affairs Sgt. Antoinette Ursitti.
Massas, of the 800 block of West Adams Street, was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 12:13 a.m. Sunday, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's office.
There was a passenger on the motorcycle who was taken in good condition to John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County.

OFC. EDWARD MASSAS will be missed we worked in the same unit and in the 13th district. My heart goes out to his family may he rest in peace. He was off duty at the time the media didn't mention that he was a cop.
