A 39-year-old man died Wednesday after he was in a motorcycle crash in St. Paul the day before, police said.

Officers responded to the single-vehicle crash in the Como neighborhood about 5:45 p.m. Tuesday. They found Chong Vang, of St. Paul, unconscious near the motorcycle on Energy Park Drive between Snelling Avenue and Lexington Parkway.

Witnesses said Vang lost control of the motorcycle, was ejected and crashed, according to Sgt. Mike Ernster, a  St. Paul police spokesman.

Police at the scene saw Vang had what appeared to be a serious head injury. He wasn’t wearing a helmet, Ernster said.

St. Paul Fire medics took Vang to Regions Hospital and police were notified that he died of his injuries Wednesday morning.

Investigators are looking into the circumstances of the crash.
