The Irving Police Department is investigating a fatal motorcycle crash involving 54 year old Irving Police Officer Mark Stephen Dahl on Friday morning on his way to work.
At approximately 5:58 a.m. officers responded to the 7800 block of Valley View Lane at Interstate Highway 635 in Irving on reports of a single-vehicle motorcycle crash. Officers arrived and found Officer Mark Dahl to be the crash victim. He was transported to Parkland Hospital but did not survive his injuries. The preliminary investigation suggests he lost control and was thrown from his personal motorcycle while on the way to work. No other vehicles were involved.
Officer Dahl was a nineteen year veteran of the Irving Police Department. During his tenure he served in the Patrol Division, Tactical Section and, most recently, the Traffic Division as a motorcycle officer. Prior to joining the Irving Police Department, Officer Dahl was a Sheriff’s Deputy with the Dallas County Sheriff’s Office. He was also a veteran of the United States Marine Corps.
