Police said they received a call about a crash involving a motorcycle and pickup truck at the intersection of Palmera Ridge Boulevard and Ronald W. Reagan Boulevard in Leander just before midnight Saturday.

According to a witness, the truck driver turned from Palmera Ridge into the path of the motorcyclist who was traveling southbound on Ronald Reagan, causing the motorcycle to hit the rear of the truck. The witness said the driver of the truck stopped briefly before fleeing.

The motorcycle is a 2007 Harley Davidson and was ridden by Danny Roy Hankins of Round Rock. Medics took Hankins to St. David’s Round Rock Medical Center, where he later died of his injuries.

Police believe the truck involved was a white or light-colored GMC or Chevrolet pickup truck with a tool box in the back and a work rack. The truck should have damage to the rear, rear bumper and tail lamp.

The case is still under investigation and anyone with any information regarding this incident is asked to call the Leander Police Department at 512-528-2800.
