First responders found the motorcyclist unresponsive when they arrived at the scene. He was taken to Methodist Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, police say.
Leading up to the crash, the motorcyclist was heading east on County Line Road and tried to pass another vehicle, which was also traveling east.
