On today’s date (03/23/19), at approximately 4:45pm, the New Braunfels Police Department and the New Braunfels Fire Department were dispatched to the intersection of Denise Drive and Pams Path for reports of a major motor vehicle accident involving a motorcycle.
Once on scene, officers found that a motorcyclist had lost control of a 2015 Harley Davidson motorcycle and struck a utility pole. The victim, a 24-year old male from Canyon Lake, was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash and he was pronounced deceased at the scene. The identity of the victim is being withheld until next of kin can be notified.
The impact from the crash into the utility pole did cause a brief power outage to some homes near the crash site, and NBU crews were called to the scene to restore power to the area.
The incident remains under investigation by members of the New Braunfels Police Department Traffic Unit.
