A motorcyclist died after running a red light and crashing into an SUV in Far North Dallas Thursday night, police said.

He was later identified as Trey Carson, Dallas police spokeswoman Melinda Gutierrez said.

The 27-year-old collided with a Nissan Rogue headed west on Spring Valley Road at Preston Road, four witnesses told authorities.

The motorcyclist, traveling north on Preston, disregarded a red light, striking the front left side of the SUV just after 8:45 p.m., Gutierrez said.

The impact of the crash threw the motorcyclist several feet, and he struck his head on the roadway. He died at the scene.

Police are waiting to release the man's identity until his family is notified.

The SUV had damage to its windshield, but the driver had no serious injuries.

Officers shut down part of the intersection during their investigation.

Another motorcyclist died last Wednesday after speeding and getting struck by a Hummer driver who failed to yield the right of way in west Oak Cliff, police said.
