A Hampton man on a motorcycle died when he crashed with a Cadillac on Jefferson Avenue in Newport News Monday.  The collision happened just after 7:00 in the morning. 

Ed Mullis was in his truck right behind the motorcycle.  He said the man was speeding as he approached the intersection of Jefferson Avenue and Randolph Road.  The Cadillac was heading the opposite direction. Mullis said he saw the Cadillac was turning left and there was no where for the motorcycle to go. 

"I knew.  It was inevitable. I've been riding 30 years and knew what was gonna happen.  I pulled in here and hit my On-Star button.  I heard sirens before I even got finished with the conversation," said Mullis.

Medics gave CPR to the motorcycle driver. That kept him alive until he reached the hospital. 

The Cadillac driver did not want to speak with us.  The people who came to meet him said he hurt his neck and back but didn't want treatment.  He went to Police Headquarters instead. 

The deceased is identified as Eben L. Hoggard, 27, of the first block of Stonewall Terrace in Hampton.

The operator of the Cadillac is identified as Tremaine Knight, 30, of the 100 block of Tyler Avenue in Newport News. Mr. Knight has been charged with second offense of driving with a revoked operator's license and not having insurance. At this time no additional charges are expected.
