A man was killed in a motorcycle crash on Utopia Parkway yesterday, according to police.

Joseph Calvacca, 30, a Bayside resident, was riding his 2008 Suzuki motorcycle south on Utopia Parkway when he lost control of the bike and was ejected off his seat around 1:42 p.m. on Sunday.

Police say Calvacca was thrown into an unoccupied 2008 Jeep SUV and then fell onto the road where EMS found him, at 21-60 Utopia Parkway, and started administering emergency treatment.

Calvacca was rushed to Flushing Hospital Medical Center where he was declared deceased.

The investigation is ongoing by NYPD’s Highway Patrol Collision Investigation Squad.
