Two killed in motorcycle crashes across Kansas, Texas

Two men were killed late Wednesday night in Dallas when their car, suspected of speeding, crashed into the back of an 18-wheeler on the northbound lanes of U.S. 67 near Wheatland Road. Police responded shortly before midnight to find both men dead inside a heavily damaged car, while the truck driver was unharmed. Authorities indicated the collision prompted an extended closure of the freeway, which was expected to last until about 10 a.m. Investigators are reviewing dashcam and surveillance footage, as they believe a third occupant of the car may have fled the scene. The identities of those involved have not been released, and the exact cause of the crash remains under investigation. High-speed corridors like U.S. 67 are noted for their increased risk of severe and fatal accidents, particularly during overnight hours.
