Just after midnight, Friday nigh,t a motorcycle traveling at a high rate of speed eastbound on North Loop 610 attempted to exit northbound on Eastex Freeway. The motorcycle struck the wall of the overpass, went over the wall and dropped almost seventy feet. Both the motorcycle and driver landed in a fenced-in secure area in which TXDOT has pump equipment for the freeways. The driver, a black male in his early 20’s, was dead at the scene. He has not yet been identified.
MCPR was created in 2008 after Jamie left a newspaper that conflicted with her ethics. Initially, it was blog style website where Jamie wrote stories and posted them with photos. Scott provided video, and as the blog grew in popularity, businesses began to inquire about advertising. The blog soon transitioned to a news website, and then to a print newspaper, which was sold in over 100 stores, and through subscription for several years.
