Orlando Castaneda Henriquez, a 38-year-old Leesburg man, was killed after the electric bicycle he was riding collided with a pickup truck shortly after midnight in Leesburg, Virginia. The driver of the pickup truck has since been arrested and charged with DUI manslaughter.
The fatal crash happened at approximately 12:06 a.m. on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, at the intersection of East Market Street and Prosperity Avenue. Officers with the Leesburg Police Department rushed to the scene after receiving reports of a collision involving an electric bicycle and a pickup truck.
Henriquez suffered fatal injuries in the collision. Despite the emergency response, he did not survive. Police initially withheld his identity while they worked to notify his relatives.
On Wednesday, November 11, authorities released his name, identifying him as Orlando Castaneda Henriquez, 38, of Leesburg. His identification brought a name and a face to a tragedy that had already left questions surrounding the circumstances of the crash.
Police identified the pickup truck driver as Clayton P. Templeton, 32, of Middleburg, Virginia. He was arrested following the collision and faces three charges: DUI manslaughter, driving under the influence, and refusal to submit to a breath test.
Following his arrest, Templeton was taken to the Loudoun County Adult Detention Center, where he is being held without bond. The charges are allegations, and any determination of guilt will be made through the legal process.
Investigators have not released further details explaining exactly how the pickup truck and the electric bicycle collided. The Leesburg Police Department’s Traffic Management Unit is continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding Henriquez’s death.
For Henriquez’s family and friends, the loss is far more than another traffic fatality. A man who left home that night would never return. His sudden death has left loved ones facing a loss they could not have prepared for.
Police are asking anyone who witnessed the collision or has information that could help investigators to come forward. Anyone who has not already spoken with authorities can contact the Leesburg Police Department at 703-771-4500.
