A man has died after a motorcycle crash in north Fort Worth early Tuesday morning.

The accident occurred around 12:20 a.m. at the intersection of northeast 28th Street and Deen Road.

Investigators believe a motorcycle was traveling eastbound on 28th Street at a “high rate of speed,” while a westbound vehicle was trying to turn left onto Deen Road.

“The driver of the motorcycle laid the bike down before the intersection and the motorcycle struck the rear of the turning car,” police said. “It is unclear if the motorcycle rider also struck the car.”

The motorcyclist died at the scene. He will be identified by the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office. Responding police officers said he was not wearing a helmet.

The investigation remains ongoing.
