Tragedy struck last weekend when a veteran of a police department in the state of Texas lost his life in a motorcycle accident.

The victim, a 42-year-old male, was riding his motorcycle on an interstate when he lost control of his vehicle. Police say that he struck a bridge support beam and flew off his motorcycle, which led to his instant death. Despite knowing the dangers of riding without one, the 18-year veteran of the force was found without a helmet.

At this time, the accident is still under investigation by police. The department will test to see whether alcohol was a factor in the accident, although many believe that it was not. The victim was off-duty at the time of the accident.
