Motorcyclist fatally struck by 18-wheeler on Houston’s East End, police say

HOUSTON – A motorcyclist is dead after he was fatally struck by an 18-wheeler on Houston’s East End Thursday, officers with the Houston Police Department said.

HPD responded to reports of a motorcycle crash on I-10 East and Taylor around 10:34 p.m.

Officers said when they arrived at the scene, they found a man that had been hit and killed.

According to investigators, an 18-wheeler may have struck the motorcyclist without the driver knowing it happened. The 18-wheeler continued driving and the victim’s motorcycle was then struck by a white sedan, HPD said. That driver reportedly remained at the scene and was not injured.

An investigation is ongoing at this time.
