Military Rider
A motorcyclist died on the Loop 101 late Tuesday night after he fell off his motorcycle and was struck by a truck then a car.
Around 10:30 p.m., a motorcycle rider was driving onto Loop 101 southbound near Northern Avenue when the rider lost control of the motorcycle and fell off, according to Timothy Case Jr., spokesman for the Department of Public Safety.
The rider was lying in the middle lane when a semi-truck struck the downed motorcyclist and did not stop, Case said.
While traffic was slowing down, witnesses reported a teal-colored passenger car went around the stopped traffic, hitting the downed rider and continuing on, Case said.
Investigators found pieces of the teal vehicle at the scene. Investigators are processing those pieces as evidence, Case said.
DPS is asking anyone with information on the semi-truck or the teal vehicle to come forward, Case said.
The identity of the rider was not released.
