Man killed in crash fleeing DPS

ALLEN -- A motorcyclist,
identified as Tyler Owens, 22, of The Colony,
was killed Tuesday night while allegedly fleeing
from a Texas Department of Public Safety
trooper.
At about 8:15 p.m., a DPS officer on routine
patrol along the Sam Rayburn Tollway near Stacy
Road in Allen observed a Yamaha motorcycle
speeding northbound on the highway, DPS
spokesman Lonny Haschel said.
The trooper intended to initiate a traffic stop
and issue a warning, but when he activated his
emergency lights the driver of the motorcycle
elected not to stop and sped away from the
trooper, Haschel said.
The trooper then turned off his emergency
lights as the motorcycle continued to accelerate
northbound. The motorcyclist continued to pull
away, increasing his distance from the patrol
vehicle and took the exit ramp to southbound
U.S. Highway 75, at which point he lost control
of the vehicle in the southbound curve of the
ramp and struck the north concrete wall, Haschel
said.
The motorcyclist was then ejected from the
motorcycle and fell to the ground, where he was
later pronounced dead at the scene by the Collin
County Medical Examiner. Owens was wearing a
helmet, Haschel said.
The crash remains under investigation.
