An SAPD preliminary report said traffic was stopped due to a stalled vehicle blocking three lanes.

Witnesses told SAPD the motorcyclist was allegedly speeding before side-swiping a vehicle, losing control and hitting a second vehicle.

The motorcyclist was ejected and struck an 18-wheeler, the report said.

San Antonio Fire Department crews arrived and pronounced the motorcyclist dead. Their identity is pending from the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office.

All of the drivers involved remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators, SAPD said.

All of the westbound lanes of I-10 were closed for several hours, but have since reopened.
