One dead after motorcycle crash in Hale County
A Plainview man was killed when the motorcycle he was on was struck by a pickup truck Saturday in Hale County.
Anthony Acosta, 20, died Saturday after a pickup truck failed to yield the right-of-way at the intersection of FM 400 and FM 3183 in Hale County, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.
Investigators believe Acosta was driving a 2007 Yamaha R6 motorcycle south on FM 400, approaching FM 3138, while a 2022 GMC pickup was stopped facing east at the stop sign on FM 3138, attempting to turn north onto FM 400.
When the driver of the truck, 31-year-old Jorge Riojas, failed to yield at the stop sign to Acosta, both vehicles collided, according to the DPS.
Acosta was pronounced dead at the scene and Riojas suffered serious injuries and was airlifted via Aerocare to University Medical Center in Lubbock.
