A motorcyclist is dead after a two-vehicle collision on Interstate 10 near Ranger Creek Road Wednesday.

John D. Vanzant, 49, who recently relocated to Kerrville, was pronounced dead at the scene of the collision.

Boerne Police Department said shortly after 2:20 p.m., Vanzant had stopped in traffic due to construction in the area when the driver of a dually pick-up truck rear-ended the cycle.

The police release said it is believed the driver of the truck was coming over a ridge and did not see the traffic stopped before colliding with the motorcyclist. The driver of the truck is cooperating with police and charges are not expected to be filed.

The westbound lane of I-10 was closed for about 2 1/2 hours The pick-up, pulling a large trailer, had became entangled in the inside-lane guardrailing. The interstate reopened to traffic just minutes before 5 p.m.


A silver dually pick-up involved in a fatal two-vehicle accident on Interstate 10 Wednesday is removed from guardrailing near Ranger Creek Road. The truck struck a motorcycle, killing its yet-to-be-identified rider.

I have an investigative firm and have recently launched a victim advocacy program to help victims of motor vehicle accidents be educated before signing a contract with a big law firm to handle their accident and injuries. Having been a victim of giant personal injury law firms, having worked for the big insurance companies, and investigating injury claims, I feel it is necessary to educate individuals about the process after a motor vehicle accident.
