HOUSTON – A motorcycle accident late Tuesday night left one man dead on an elevated freeway ramp in Houston.
The incident occurred at approximately 11:35 p.m. on the ramp from Interstate 45 southbound to U.S. 59 northbound near Gray Street. Authorities reported that the motorcycle went over the railing, landing in a grassy area below before coming to a stop along U.S. 59 northbound, near Pierce Street.
Due to a lack of eyewitnesses, first responders faced challenges in locating the accident scene. Reports of a crash were received, but the specific location was not immediately clear.
The victim, believed to be in his 20s, was pronounced dead at the scene; his identity has not yet been released. Authorities have not determined if another vehicle was involved in the incident.
The Houston Police Department is currently leading the investigation. Further details will be provided as they become available.
