The initial crash happened around 2:45 a.m., and involved an SUV and a construction vehicle.
According to police, a 19-year-old man hit a construction vehicle that has a large flashing arrow, used to direct traffic. The teen was not seriously injured, but it knocked the construction vehicle on its side.
A motorcyclist, attempting to drive around the accident, was clipped by a metal bar that was hanging out from the construction vehicle. The motorcyclist crashed and was transported to Baylor Hospital where he later died.
