"It's a tragedy, but it seems very avoidable. And from what witnesses are saying, that motorcycle was traveling at highway speeds on McKinney, so shouldn't have been going that fast. But the consequences were catastrophic for everybody involved," said Sgt. David Rose with the HPD Vehicular Crimes Division.
Police say, based on the initial investigation, it appears the couple on the bicycles had the right of way.
