The Nissan turned into a shopping center near the light, but the motorcyclist continued to speed off. At the same time, a Toyota Sienna was traveling south on Nacogdoches and moved into the center turn lane to turn left onto Vigil View.

The minivan driver said she saw the motorcycle lights but thought she had time to make the turn, according to police. The motorcyclist was going so fast, he didn’t have enough time to avoid crashing into the minivan, police said.

The motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the scene and has not been identified.

It is unknown if the minivan driver will face any charges.
