CASTLE HILLS, Texas — Police are searching for the driver who hit a motorcyclist in Castle Hills, then took off and left him lying in the street early Monday morning.
Castle Hills Police were dispatched to the Loop 410 acess road in between Blanco Road and Northwest Military Highway for reports of an motorcycle accident around 2:30 a.m.
When officers arrived, they found the victim in the street with serious injuries and believe he was hit from behind. Police say his injuries could’ve been worse had he not been wearing his helmet.
Police said his bike was damaged and the impact caused the driver to fall off. However, no other vehicle was found at the scene during their investigation.
