John Tobias Jr. IDed as victim in East El Paso hit and run

EL PASO, TX – A motorcyclist sustained fatal injuries in a hit-and-run accident that happened on the Fourth of July on the east side of El Paso, reports KFOX 14.

Shortly after midnight, emergency crews responded to a motorcycle crash at the intersection of TX-375 and North Zaragoza Road, which is near Montwood and Montwood Heights.

Police say that a diesel truck struck a motorcyclist along North Zaragoza, causing the motorcyclist to lose control of his bike and to hit a barrier along the roadway.
