Man on motorcycle struck, killed by shooting victim who was taking himself to hospital, HCSO says

Deputies say the man was driving himself to the hospital when he struck the motorcycle from behind.

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas — A man who was riding a motorcycle was struck and killed by a man who was taking himself to the hospital after being shot, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office.

The crash happened around 9:40 p.m. Sunday at the intersection of SH 249 and Hollister Drive.

Deputies said the injured man was speeding when he switched lanes and struck the back of a motorcycle that was stopped at a red light. The biker was ejected and pronounced dead at the scene, according to deputies.

Deputies said the passengers in the vehicle (a woman and child) were not wearing seatbelts. Everyone in the vehicle was taken to an area hospital with minor injuries.

The driver was taking himself to the hospital after being shot in a separate incident near 11654 Walnut Date Court, according to deputies.

A total of three people were shot at that scene, deputies said.

Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said the driver will be charged with Aggravated Assault Causing Serious Bodily Injury and Child Endangerment, but that those charges could be upgraded.

Gonzalez also said the driver also may have had an active warrant in Fort Bend County.

An investigation into both incidents is ongoing.
