A motorcyclist is dead after crashing and falling at least 20 feet over the side of a downtown Cincinnati overpass, police say.
The man, who was wearing a helmet, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash Tuesday night, according to Cincinnati Police Lt. Patrick Caton.
It occurred on Fort Washington Way, near the Heritage Center, around 7:45 p.m. on June 10.

Speed is considered a factor, according to the lieutenant.

Diddy allegedly wanted one last drug-fueled night after rehab push: testimony
Sean "Diddy" Combs' ex-girlfriend, testifying under the pseudonym Jane, told jurors Wednesday that the rapper wanted one more "sobriety party" before he pursued rehab. Jane claimed there were three entertainers at the party, and she allegedly did not take any drugs. She testified that while she agreed to the party, she also resented Diddy "for knowing how much I loved him and knowing how I couldn't say no to him." Under direct examination last week, the government asked Jane if she and Diddy experienced "hotel nights" without drugs. Jane explained that the former couple attempted the nights a handful of times, and it was at Diddy's request in October 2023 that they tried a "sobriety party." "Around this time I just really wanted my partner to get sober," Jane testified. "I just really cared so much about Sean's health, and I could see that he just, like, was excessively partying on top of just so many pills that he takes daily for I don't know what. And I just really wanted him to get clean and just get better." She continued, "And he said, okay, I'm going to do like 30 days without anything, and I'll be sober. But let's just have, like, one more, one more sobriety party. Just one, like, sobriety party." When asked what drugs Diddy used during the "sobriety party," Jane replied, "I believe ecstasy. And cocaine. I don't know." She also alleged the party lasted "too long," claiming it was "close to 12 to 18 hours." Diddy's ex testified Tuesday that she broached the subject of rehab for the "I Need A Girl" rapper after allegedly witnessing him "overdoing the partying." She claimed he would offer her ecstasy before engaging in role play and that Diddy liked to use the words "voyeurism" and "escapism" to describe his fantasies of watching her participate in sexual encounters with male escorts. WATCH: DIDDY'S EX-GIRLFRIEND PREPS FOR CROSS EXAMINATION AFTER 'GRAPHIC, DAYS-LONG' TESTIMONY Jane also claimed the rapper made her delete social media posts showing him while allegedly forcing her to participate in "hotel nights." The jury was shown a photo of Diddy at the popular sushi spot, Nobu, before a "hotel night." Jane confirmed she and the "Gotta Move On" rapper went to dinner before with two male escorts, Paul and Don. Jane testified during cross-examination that Combs made her delete a social media post from the dinner. The jury was then shown text messages between Jane and Diddy dated March 2, 2022. Jane was coordinating coming to Miami before the Nobu dinner. Diddy's text read, "Everyone can post…" Jane responded, telling Diddy to have another woman delete a post. According to Jane, this was a fight that occurred after a "hotel night" because Jane saw the rapper's other girlfriend, Gina, post a picture wearing a "love necklace." Jane claimed she had a matching "love bracelet." Jane explained that those nights were so "emotionally excruciating, so to see these things was really hurtful." Jane testified she was upset that Gina could post on social media, but she could not. Jane's cross-examination began Tuesday by Diddy's criminal defense lawyer, Teny Geragos. She questioned Jane about her relationship with the rapper and her participation in the allegedly forced "hotel nights." Jane testified Diddy was upfront with her about dating multiple women at the start of their relationship in 2021. She explained the rapper was "polyamorous" and she was okay with that at the time. She testified at first she didn't mind because she was just getting to know Diddy. Diddy paid Jane's rent through their "love contract," according to her testimony. The ex-girlfriend told the prosecution that she felt obligated to perform at "hotel nights" for the rapper because he had threatened to stop paying for her home. For "hotel nights," Jane claimed she was expected to dress in lingerie and have sex with other men in front of the rapper. The cross-examination became heated when Geragos began questioning Jane about the money he spent on her and gifts she received from the rapper. Texts to Diddy from Jane about the "Last Night" rapper buying purses for another woman were brought up in court. Geragos commented that Jane also received a bag of her own. "No, I only got trauma … after three-and-a-half years, I really don't think I garnered anything," Jane told the court. Geragos pressed, "How much do Bottega bags cost?" to which Jane replied, "How much does my body cost?" before asking the court for a break from testimony. When court resumed, Jane apologized to Geragos. Geragos also brought up Diddy's alleged drug use. Jane testified that when she first met the raper, she knew he consumed drugs. However, she claimed she didn't know how much. During a trip early on in their relationship, Jane claimed it became apparent the rapper wasn't taking care of himself after she noticed his eyes and teeth. The music mogul allegedly appeared jaundiced, his gums were gray, and his hands were shaky from over-consuming alcohol. Jane said she spoke to him about rehab and suggested a trip to Thailand. "What the h---, you think I need rehab?" Jane claimed Diddy said at the time. Before cross-examination began Tuesday, Judge Arun Subramanian denied Diddy's second request for a mistrial. Diddy's legal team had argued that the prosecution knowingly presented false testimony to the court in a letter filed June 7 and obtained by Fox News Digital. WATCH: WITNESS DETAILS HOW DIDDY 'DANGLED' HER OVER A BALCONY IN EXPLOSIVE NEW TESTIMONY The defense pointed to testimony from Bryana "Bana" Bongolan, who claimed Diddy dangled her off a 17th floor balcony in September 2016. Portions of her testimony were questioned after she couldn't remember details of the alleged incident, including what drugs she was on at the time. However, the federal judge ruled there was no interference. Judge Subramanian noted the defense was able to, and did, attack Bongolan's testimony to undermine her credibility. According to the judge, there was no prejudice to an exhibit that had helped the defense's case.
