A preliminary investigation uncovered that Rodriguez was traveling south on the feeder when he struck a raised concrete median. The man was unlicensed to ride, and he was also not wearing a helmet at the time. The investigation into the solo crash is ongoing, and anyone with information should contact the Bryan Police.
Under Texas laws, a motorcycle rider below the age of 21 must wear a helmet when riding. Those above 21 may ride without a headcover if they have completed a safety course or have appropriate insurance coverage.
The Texas Department of Transportation provides safety tips for riders to follow at all times. They include wearing a helmet and other protective gear, turning on headlights and riding defensively, and avoiding the center lane where debris and oil build-up. Ride at a safe speed, never ride when intoxicated, and take a course to learn or reinforce safe riding techniques.
