A motorcyclist was killed tonight in an accident on Washington Road in Mt. Lebanon.
The Allegheny County medical examiner's office was not releasing the victim's identity because next of kin had not been notified.
The cyclist was traveling in the 1300 block of the heavily traveled road about 8:30 p.m. when the accident occurred, said a shift commander for Allegheny County 911.

It was unclear whether another vehicle was involved or what caused the accident.
The victim was initially taken to St. Clair Hospital but was later transferred by helicopter to UPMC Presbyterian, where he was pronounced dead.
