Man Killed in San Antonio Motorcycle Crash on Nacogdoches Road at Vigil View

San Antonio, Texas (September 10, 2020) – A man was killed in a motorcycle crash Tuesday night in San Antonio’s Northeast Side, according to police.

The fatal crash happened around 11:50 p.m., September 8, near the 15100 block of Nacogdoches Road at Vigil View.

Police said the motorcyclist was waiting at a traffic light when a Nissan 350Z started to rev its engine. The motorcyclist also revved his engine, and when the light turned green, both vehicles sped off.

The motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the scene. His name has not been released.

The crash remains under investigation.
