Motorcycle Death in Fort Worth

FORT WORTH -- A man died Saturday after he struck the rear of a car and was thrown from his silver Kawasaki motorcycle.

Police said the man, who has not been identified, was going eastbound at a high rate of speed on Interstate 20 about 11:30 a.m.

Then, the motorcycle rider crossed from the outside lane to the exit lane to get off the freeway at Wichita Street. The motorcyclist may have touched or struck the front of an 18-wheeler’s cab before continuing down the exit ramp, police said.

The motorcycle struck the rear of a black Ford Focus ahead of him on the exit ramp, according to police. The collision caused the Ford’s driver to lose control and strike the guardrail, but neither the driver nor her three-year-old son were injured, police said.

Detectives would like to speak with the driver of the 18-wheeler that may have been struck by the motorcycle.
