ROUND ROCK

Man dies in motorcycle wreck

A 25-year-old Round Rock man died in a motorcycle wreck Wednesday on Louis Henna Boulevard in Round Rock.

Round Rock Police Department spokesman Eric Poteet said Carl Libby was seen driving his motorcycle erratically about 1 p.m. in the westbound lane of Louis Henna. Libby lost control of the motorcycle in the 2500 block of Louis Henna, and it crashed.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Poteet said there was a helmet on the ground, but it was unclear whether Libby had been wearing it.

Libby had bought the motorcycle about a month ago but had not obtained a license to drive it, Poteet said. Libby was believed to be speeding, probably driving more than 100 mph, Poteet said.

No joke. Staying alive on a bike is more about risk management than I think many people realize.

your ability to successfully manage your 'risks' in whatever you do...
