A 65-year-old man died Saturday when his motorcycle collided with a car in Arlington, police said.
The fatal crash was reported about 6:45 p.m. at the intersection of Matlock Road and East Bardin Road.
Officers found the driver of the motorcycle lying unresponsive in the roadway, police said in a news release. He was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident. The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office will identify the man after his next of kin have been notified.
Investigators learned the man was traveling north on Matlock Road when his motorcycle hit a Lexus ES 300 sedan that was making a left turn from the southbound lanes of Matlock Road to the eastbound lanes of Bardin Road.
The impact caused the man to be thrown from the motorcycle, police said. He was not wearing a helmet.
Based on witness statements and evidence from the scene, investigators believe the motorcyclist had a green light but may have been traveling at a high speed.
