The roughly 30-year-old dirt bike driver died just before 8:30 p.m. Saturday after colliding with the back of a pick-up truck on Marbauch Avenue, a sergeant on the scene told KSAT.<\/p>\n
After attempting to go around the truck, police said the driver swerved back into the lane and hit the pick-up truck. He was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash.<\/p>\n
It is unclear whether the dirt bike driver was speeding, but the sergeant said even a small-speed crash can kill those not wearing a helmet.<\/p>\n
The sergeant also said the dirt bike should not have been driven on a neighborhood road.<\/p>\n
A teenage male passenger was also riding on the back of the dirt bike, but did not suffer life-threatening injuries, police said. <\/p>\n
This is a developing story. KSAT will update this story as more information becomes available. <\/p>\n
