SAN ANTONIO – A 19-year-old motorcyclist died early Sunday morning in a crash on Interstate 10, according to San Antonio police.

Ethan Carranza died in the crash, the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office said. His cause and manner of death are still pending as of Sunday afternoon.

The crash happened around 3:15 a.m. Sunday on I-10 West near Colorado Street.

Carranza was traveling southbound on I-10 when he approached a curve, lost control and was ejected. Police said the motorcycle crashed into a concrete pillar.

Carranza was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

An investigation into the crash is ongoing.

Multiple motorcyclists have died in recent crashes. In late July, three motorcyclists were killed in separate crashes in a single weekend.

Days later, motorcyclists died in separate crashes on the West Side and far West Side.
