A teenage motorcyclist was killed when police said he lost control of his motorcycle late Thursday night on Rocky Point Yaphank Road in Rocky Point, crashing into a tree.

Suffolk County police said Timothy Ross, 19, of Shirley, was riding a 2007 Honda motorcycle south on Rocky Point Yaphank Road just north of Whiskey Road when he “struck rumble strips” at the side of the roadway — losing control of the motorcycle, which then left the roadway.

The single-vehicle crash occurred at 10:52 p.m.

Police said Ross died at the scene. The motorcycle was impounded for a safety check.
