Early morning fatality crash may be a result of speed, motorcycle tricks

A high-rate of speed may have played a role in the death of a man early Saturday morning.

Tulsa police say a motorcycle collided with a pick-up near 49th and Memorial.  The incident happened around 2:35 a.m.

The motorcyclist was pronounced dead after being transported to an area hospital.  His name hasn't been released.

A witness at the scene told officers the driver of the motorcycle was doing tricks and was driving fast.  Police say the pickup went to make a turn and didn't see the motorcycle.

The motorcyclist then slammed into the side of the pickup.

Police say alcohol didn't seem to be a factor in the wreck.

The motorcyclist was wearing a helmet.  The female driver of the pickup, her husband and their child were all wearing seatbelts.
