Motorcycle Hits Pedestrian At 70 MPH, Rider and Pedestrian Die




Dallas police say a traffic accident involving a pedestrian and a motorcycle rider doing a wheelie at 70 MPH left both men dead. The crash happened Tuesday night in the 6200 block of Bonnie View Lane.

Sr. Cpl. Kevin Janse says witnesses reported that at about 10:30 Tuesday night Bellard was attempting cross the street, but did not use the crosswalk. Janse says Bellard failed to yield right of way to Hudson's 2006 Suzuki motorcycle and was hit.


Quote from the article:
Janse says the motorcycle had "the front tire off the ground" when the wreck happened. Police on the scene of the wreck estimated Hudson was going 70 MPH in a 35 MPH zone. "I seen him all the time. He'd be on his motorcycle going up and down the street," said Hudson's neighbor, Shirletta Roberts.

After the impact, Hudson lost control of the motorcycle, crossed the median twice, hit a speed limit sign and then slid underneath a bus which was stopped at a stop sign.
