Motorcylist Killed in Denton Crash
Early Monday morning a motorcyclist was killed in a crash on a Denton Highway.
The medical examiner’s office reported the victim, William Malmsten of Denton, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The crash happened around 2 a.m. Monday in the northbound lanes of the 700 Block of Interstate 35E in Denton.
Denton Officer Ryan Grelle, a department spokesman, reported that Malmsten, 47, was driving his 1997 Harley-Davidson onto the highway when he lost control of his bike, was thrown off into light pole. Malmsten was not wearing a helmet.
Our condolences go out to the friends and family members of William Malmsten. It is so distressing to hear of motorcycle fatalities in which the victim was not wearing a helmet. It’s impossible to say if a helmet would have saved this man’s life, but helmets certainly save countless lives in accidents every day.
