Investigators said they think two Mustangs were racing when they hit a truck. One of the cars then struck a motorcycle head-on, killing the rider.

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Texas — A man who was riding a motorcycle was killed in a crash around noon on Sunday. Authorities said two Mustangs were street racing when they were involved in a crash with a truck that was pulling out of a restaurant in Montgomery County. After the first crash, one of the street racing vehicles struck a motorcycle head-on, investigators said.

According to authorities, the two Mustangs were speeding on FM 1314 when they crashed into a truck that had pulled out of Busters Crawfish, just south of SH 242.
