A man suffered a fatal motorcycle accident along the jogging path beneath the Throgs Neck Bridge early Thursday after colliding with a tree, police said.

According to an NYPD spokesman, the 30-year-old man was riding a motorcycle near the intersection of Utopia Parkway and Cryders Lane when the accident occurred at approximately 6:50 a.m.

When EMS responded, he was found a few feet away from the damaged motorcycle. He was pronounced dead at the scene, police said, and his name was being withheld pending family notification.
