PHOENIX (CBS5) -
A 38-year-old San Tan Valley man died Wednesday night when he lost control of his motorcycle on Interstate 17 and was run over by another vehicle, Arizona Department of Public Safety officers said.
It happened in the southbound lanes of I-17 near Glendale Avenue.
The victim, who has not been identified, was traveling above the speed limit and making rapid and abrupt lane changes, according to DPS spokesman Carrick Cook.
Cook said the motorcyclist, who was driving in the HOV lane, suddenly rode to the far right lane in one motion and lost control of his vehicle, Cook said.
Several vehicles collided to try to avoid hitting him, Cook said. "A third vehicle ran him over," Cook said.
"He put so many other people's lives in danger by his driving behavior, that this could have turned into a rollover crash, someone could have gone over the barrier wall, somebody else could have died," Cook said.
Be Careful out there people....
