Motorcyclist dies after crashing into separate vehicles along US-59 inbound at Fondren, HPD says

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Houston police investigated a deadly crash along the Southwest Freeway involving a motorcyclist Tuesday morning.

The crash was reported at about 8:45 a.m. and blocked three lanes inbound at Fondren Road. All lanes have since reopened.

Authorities said a 20-year-old man in a blue Kawasaki motorcycle was northbound on the freeway, riding between two right lanes. That's when police said he crashed into the back of a black Honda Civic and a gray Jeep Cherokee.

HPD said the motorcyclist flew off his bike and hit a white Toyota Corolla. Paramedics transported the victim to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Police said two other people involved in the crash were taken to the hospital for back pain.

Hours later, on Tuesday, a second motorcyclist died in a two-vehicle crash along the East Freeway. That victim has not yet been identified.
