Brian Hastings Killed in Motorcycle Accident on Texas 71 in Travis County
Travis County, Texas (June 16, 2018) – The motorcyclist who was killed Tuesday evening in an accident in Travis County has been identified as Brian Jeffrey Hastings, 64, of San Antonio, authorities said.
The deadly accident took place at about 4:13 p.m. Tuesday, June 12 in the eastbound lanes of the 4400 block of Texas 71 East, near Ross Road.
According to the authorities, Hastings had pulled his Harley-Davidson motorcycle onto the road when for unknown reasons he slammed into a 2007 Volkswagen Golf, causing the driver to pull her vehicle off to the left side of the road.
The Hastings’ motorcycle then continued to cross the two lanes of the highway and came to a rest in front of the semi truck, which did not stop quick enough to miss striking Hastings. Hastings and his motorcycle were dragged for a short distance under the truck.
Hasting was declared dead at 4:29 p.m.
Authorities are investigating the cause of the crash.
