Two men riding a motorcycle have been killed in a crash in the Montrose area.
The wreck occurred in the 500 block of Fairview about 1:45 p.m. Tuesday, police said. The Harris County Medical Examiner's had not positively identified the men by this afternoon.
One of the victims, 45, was taken to Ben Taub General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The other man was taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital-Texas Medical Center, where he also was pronounced dead.
Investigators said witnesses told them that the two men were riding a blue and gray Suzuki motorcycle eastbound on Fairview at a high rate of speed.
The driver swerved to avoid a red 2001 Dodge pickup that was traveling westbound on Fairview and that turned into a parking lot.
The motorcyclist lost control and slammed into the pavement. Both men were thrown from the motorcycle.
No other injuries were reported.
Houston police are investigating the case.
