A 27-year-old man, Thomas Kelly Jr., is under arrest in Arlington, Texas, following a tragic incident early Saturday morning that resulted in the death of a motorcycle rider. Kelly faces serious charges including intoxication manslaughter, collision involving death, and tampering with evidence.

The incident took place shortly after 1 a.m. on North Collins Street near NE Green Oaks Boulevard, where a 2004 Chevy Silverado collided head-on with a Harley Davidson motorcycle. The 55-year-old rider, identified as Richard Wing from Dallas, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Witnesses reported that Kelly was driving the Silverado erratically, swerving between lanes as he attempted to pass other vehicles. He struck the motorcycle as it was turning. In a chaotic aftermath, Kelly disposed of beer cans from his vehicle into a nearby field and attempted to flee the scene. A passerby chased after him, detaining him until police arrived.

Though he refused to participate in field sobriety tests, police officers noted signs of intoxication and subsequently discovered several beer cans in the area where witnesses saw him tossing items. A blood sample has been taken and will be sent for analysis. Kelly is currently being held at the Arlington City Jail.
