Rider and passenger killed in Texas motorcycle accident

A motorcyclist and his passenger are dead after colliding with an SUV on Tuesday night in Clute, Texas. The two victims were 24-year-old Alexander Reyes and 23-year-old Erin Anthony.

The accident occurred at 10pm when a 2002 Ford Escape SUV pulled in front of the motorcycle’s path. Reyes struck the SUV, and both he and Anthony were ejected from the motorcycle. Neither Reyes nor Anthony were wearing helmets at the time of the accident.

The SUV was being driven by a 75-year-old woman from Lake Jackson, Texas. She was driving eastbound on Plantation Drive when she turned left in front of Reyes’ motorcycle. The woman was taken to a hospital for her injuries where she was treated and released.

Authorities say the driver of the SUV will likely receive a citation, but they are not yet sure what the citation will be.

Together the Clute Police Department and the Texas Department of Public Safety will recreate the accident, and then the case will be referred to a grand jury, say police.  To read more on the story click here.
