KILLEEN, Texas (Sept. 18, 2025) — Killeen Police are investigating a deadly crash that claimed the life of a motorcyclist early Thursday morning on Interstate 14.
Around 4:17 a.m., officers and firefighters were dispatched to the westbound lanes of I-14 at the Trimmier overpass for reports of a collision. When they arrived, they found that a motorcycle had been struck by a passenger car. The 28-year-old motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the scene by Justice of the Peace Coleman at 6:32 a.m.
