Sandwich Police have identified the youth killed Wednesday night in a motorcycle accident as 16-year-old Richard M. Bellis, a town resident.
Chief Robert J. Pomeroy said in a statement that Bellis drove by an officer on Route 130 at approximately 9 p.m. on a motorcycle with the headlights turned off. Bellis was traveling at a "high rate of speed," Pomeroy said.
The officer pursued Bellis south on the road and followed him when he turned left on a dirt road towards a rod and gun club, according to Pomeroy.
The officer discovered the motorcycle laying under a steel gate near a gravel pit, Pomeroy said. The officer found Bellis lying unconscious.
The youth was transported to Cape Cod Hospital, where he died from his injuries. The Sandwich Police, Massachusetts Environmental Police, and Cape Cod Accident Reconstruction Team are investigating the accident.
