Motorcycle Fatality
A Montague County man died Monday at a Fort Worth hospital after his motorcycle wrecked Sunday afternoon during a police chase in northwest Wise County, according to reports.
Randle Skinner, 27, of Bowie died Monday afternoon at Harris Methodist Fort Worth Hospital, according to the Tarrant County medical examiner's office.
The Fort Worth News stated, the chase began around 4:30 p.m. Sunday at a four-way stop intersection in Chico, a community in northwest Wise County, said Lt. John Thompson of the sheriff's office.
Skinner was being chased by the Texas Department of Public Safety Highway Patrol, Thompson said.
Thompson said he did not know why Skinner was being chased. DPS troopers were unavailable for comment Tuesday morning.
Thompson, however, said Skinner was followed out of town on Farm Road 1810 where his red motorcycle hit a power pole.
"It knocked the pole completely in half," Thompson said. "It broke the motorcycle completely in half."
Skinner was taken to Harris where he was pronounced dead at 1:13 p.m. Monday, the medical examiner reported.
