A tragic accident occurred early Wednesday morning on the Katy Freeway when a biker rear-ended a pickup truck near the Washington Avenue exit. According to Houston police, speed is believed to be a contributing factor.
At approximately 1:30 a.m., authorities received reports of a collision involving a motorcycle and a pickup truck. The impact was so severe that it propelled the pickup into the barrier wall, leaving significant damage in its wake.
Tragically, the young man operating the motorcycle lost his life as a result of the crash. Houston police are now actively searching for another motorcyclist who was reportedly riding alongside him at high speeds just moments before the incident occurred.
Authorities are urging anyone with information about this second motorcyclist or any other details related to this incident to come forward and assist with their investigation.
The identity of the deceased biker has not yet been released pending notification of next-of-kin. Our thoughts go out to his family and friends during this difficult time.
