A gray Suzuki motorcycle was eastbound on FM 1960 when a westbound black Ford Ranger pickup turned left in front of it.  The motorcycle struck the right passenger side of the pickup truck, killing the motorcyclist.  The Ford Ranger was knocked onto its side, causing the driver’s arm to drag on the concrete.  Excessive speed by the motorcyclist may be a factor in the accident.
