A 16-year-old Kennedale High School junior died in a motorcycle crash on September 26, 2026, while riding with friends. According to the school principal, the teen had stopped his motorcycle near the end of the ride when he was allegedly struck by a friend on another motorcycle. The exact location and time of the crash were not stated in the coverage we reviewed.
NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth reported that classmates and friends gathered Sunday, October 4, for a balloon release in the teen’s honor, and that friends described him as outgoing. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported that the school and family are mourning, and that a fundraiser for funeral expenses had been started. Neither report included details from law enforcement about the investigation.
