      VANCOUVER — Police say a motorcyclist has died after losing control and being thrown over a highway barricade in West Vancouver.
       
      Emergency crews responded to the crash on Highway 99 just before 4:30 p.m. on Saturday.
       
      Officers say a 22-year-old Surrey man died at the scene and his name isn't being released at this time.

      Speed is being investigated as the primary cause of the crash.
       
      Police say the rider was wearing a helmet-mounted camera and that investigators will analyze video that was being recorded.
