COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. (AP) -- Colorado Springs police are investigating the cause of a motorcycle crash that left one person dead.

Authorities say 23-year-old Charles Galloway was riding beside a friend just before 2 p.m. Tuesday when Galloway lost control, hit a curb and was ejected from his motorcycle.

Galloway was thrown into a light pole. He was transported to a hospital where he later died.

Police say he was wearing a helmet.

Galloway's friend, 22-year-old Michael Stansberry, was riding his own motorcycle and was not hurt.

Investigators say drugs and alcohol are not suspected as factors in the crash.
