AMARILLO, Texas (KVII) — A motorcyclist was killed when police said he hit a pickup truck after he was clocked at more than 100 mph.

Around 6 p.m. Thursday, Levi Joseph Eytcheson, 21, was traveling 101 mph on a sports motorcycle when he went past a motorcycle officer on Hillside Road.

The officer turned around to perform a traffic stop.

When Eytcheson ran the red light at southwest 58th Avenue and Western Street, the officer ended the chase "due to the danger that the motorcycle rider was placing himself and the public in."

Eytcheson continued north on Western at a "high rate of speed."

The officer followed without lights or siren and noticed traffic stopping in the 4600 block of South Western Street.

It turns out, Eytcheson had crashed into a Ford pickup that was pulling out of a parking lot.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The people in the pickup were not injured.
