A man has died after a crash between a motorcycle and a car in an Arlington neighborhood last week.

The fatal crash happened on Thursday, Feb. 1, around 10:43 p.m. in the 100 block of E. Mitchell Street.

The Arlington Police Department said a 31-year-old man was traveling eastbound along Mitchell Street at a high rate of speed and crossed the double yellow lines into oncoming traffic.
