3 Dead at Motorcycle Rally

CORSICANA, Texas -- Authorities say three people were killed and three others injured when a pickup plowed head-on into a group of motorcycles during a charity ride.

Texas Department of Public Safety spokeswoman Tela Mange says the truck veered into the oncoming lane on a rural highway south of Corsicana and struck two motorcycles before rolling over and hitting two more Saturday morning.

Mange said the drivers and a passenger on the first two motorcycles were pronounced dead at the scene. She said the driver of the truck was treated and released from a Dallas hospital.

The drivers of the other two motorcycles were in fair condition at Dallas hospitals, Mange said.

The accident happened about 65 miles south of Dallas.
