Arlington, TX (7/9/2020) – A motorcyclist is now dead after colliding into a minivan in Arlington earlier this week.

The accident happened just before 3 p.m. Monday on south Texas 360. A Honda minivan was exiting from Texas 360 to Pioneer Parkway when a motorcycle driven by Roger Hartgrave, 23, drove up behind the minivan at high speeds and collided into it.

Hartgrave was thrown from the motorcycle. He was taken to the hospital where he later died Tuesday around 5:40 p.m.

The driver and passenger in the minivan were not injured.

Crash investigators will review all factors that may have led up to the accident and police reports will be made available in fourteen days.
