A motorcyclist died Tuesday afternoon after crashing into the back of an SUV while attempting to evade a Texas Department of Public Safety trooper in Bandera County, according to officials.

The crash occurred shortly after 2 p.m. July 21 near the intersection of Texas 16 South and FM 1283. DPS said a trooper tried to initiate a traffic stop on the motorcycle along 16. Instead of stopping, the rider fled and later struck the rear of a Lexus SUV.

The motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the scene.
