Oct. 26, 2012 story:A motorcyclist was killed just after midnight Friday morning on the southbound lanes of Loop 375 near Montana in far east El Paso County.

Our Round the Clock crew talked with police on the scene. They tell us the motorcyclist was traveling at a high rate of speed, lost control, and flew off the bike. Our crew also witnessed emergency crews handling the victim’s head, which had been decapitated in the course of the accident. However, police have not made any comment as to how that happened.

Northbound traffic was already being forced to exit the highway before the Montana exit because of road work.

Motorists on post at Fort Bliss, as well as those in northeast and far east El Paso, are urged to find an alternate route to work Friday morning.
