A Hurst man died Sunday afternoon from injuries he suffered when he was thrown off his motorcycle after crashing into the back of a sport utility vehicle on Texas 360 in Arlington, authorities said Monday.
The motorcycle rear-ended the SUV, which had stopped in the center lane of the highway because of heavy traffic on Texas 360, Arlington police said in a news release.
