The Texas Department of Public Safety announced on Tuesday new findings from an investigation into a deadly accident that occurred late Friday morning on Highway 96 about 3 miles north of Kirbyville. It involved a motorcycle and a pickup truck, resulting in the death of the motorcyclist - Jason Speegle, 31, of Buna.
DPS Sergeant Shana Clark released a statement which said "Investigators determined the Ford pickup was in the center turn lane when the motorcycle entered it at a high rate of speed - while passing other vehicles in the center turn lane - when the collision between the motorcycle and Ford pickup occurred."
The truck was driven by 71-year-old Beverly Harrison, of Kirbyville. She was not injured.
Speegle was flown from the scene to a Beaumont hospital where he died.
