1 Killed, 1 Seriously Injured After Second Motorcycle Accident in DFW in 2 Days
A group motorcycle ride last night in West Fort Worth quickly turned tragic on Loop 820 approaching Interstate 30. And this accident happened just one day after a motorcycle wreck killed two on Monday.
Around 9:30 p.m., a group of motorcyclists were traveling on West Loop 820 when two riders sped up ahead of the bunch. They slowed down just as two more sped up from out of the pack. One of them, 26-year-old Ronald King of Fort Worth, was unable to break in time for the decelerating bikes in front of him and ran into the back of one. King was ejected from his bike and died at the scene.
The man he hit—an unidentified 37-year-old—was taken to Harris Methodist Hospital in downtown Fort Worth in stable condition.
As the weather turns nicer, the number of bikers increases on North Texas interstates and highways. Group rides are very popular and a great way to socialize with those who share a common passion for bikes and motorcycle-riding. But even within groups, the riders obviously need to be careful of each other and keep a safe distance between themselves and other bikers in their groups.
