Dallas Motorcycle Accident Claims Life of Man

Posted on Jul 25, 2011

A Dallas motorcycle accident involving a hit-and-run driver claims the life of a man after his motorcycle is struck by a car, forcing him to fall off an overpass. The incident took place on Monday afternoon, June 27, 2011, on a bridge over the Dallas North Tollway.

According to local police, a motorcycle turned into the path of a red 1999 Ford F-150 and was struck. The force of the impact sent the motorcyclist over the guardrail where he landed on the shoulder of the Dallas North Tollway.

The motorcyclist has been identified as 41-year-old Roland Olvera. Rescue crews rushed Mr. Olvera to Parkland Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead from injuries sustained in the motorcycle accident.

Police report that the driver of the pickup truck never stopped, and he fled the accident scene. Though he may not have been at fault, the hit-and-run driver potentially faces charges for failing to stop.

The fatal Dallas motorcycle accident is still under investigation by local authorities. Anyone with information concerning the hit-and-run motorcycle accident has been asked to contact authorities at (214) 670-5818.
