Man dies in Fort Worth motorcycle crash
STAR-TELEGRAM REPORT

FORT WORTH -- A 53-year-old man was killed overnight when he crashed his motorcycle on the Summit Avenue entrance ramp to Interstate 30, police said.
Ricky Meza of Fort Worth was identified by the Tarrant County medical examiner's office.
He was pronounced dead at 12:36 a.m. at Harris Methodist Fort Worth Hospital, where he was taken after the accident, which happened 30 minutes earlier, according to reports.
Meza's 25-year-old son, Edward, told police that he and his father were riding their motorcycles home from a bar when the accident happened, said Sgt. Rodney Bangs, supervisor of the Traffic Investigation Unit.
Bangs said Ricky Meza was entering I-30 from the Summit Avenue entrance when "he struck a curb, lost control of the motorcycle and was ejected."
The man did not wear a helmet, Bangs said.
Edward Meza, Bangs said, was right behind his father.
"He locked up his brakes and jumped off his motorcycle in an effort to get to his father quickly," Bangs said.
The son, he added, was slightly injured.
"He was obviously upset," Bangs said. "He saw it occur and tried to do what he could to aid his father."
Edward Meza was also taken to Harris to be treated for his injuries, Bangs said.
Investigators will check to see if alcohol might have contributed to the accident because the men had been at a bar, Bangs said. He added, however, that speed may have also caused the accident.
Hope that neither of them were riding under the influence, that can only magnify the things that can go wrong while riding.
