Tulsa - A Broken Arrow man was killed early Tuesday morning after a
motorcycle accident on Highway 169 near 81st Street.

Witnesses say the cyclist was going faster than 100 miles per hour when
he crashed into the back of a semi truck between 81st and 91st Street at
about one o'clock Tuesday morning.
Investigators say evidence shows the cyclist was going about 120 miles
per hour at the time of the impact. It took the truck driver more than a
quarter of a mile to come to a stop. When he did, he stepped out of his
rig and found the motorcyclist dead at the back of the truck.
"The truck driver was not hurt," says Captain Matt Kirkland. "He said
that the impact was so strong that he thought he was hit from behind by
another truck."
Officers said there was no indication that drugs or alcohol played a
factor in the accident.
