I'm still trying to process this news... 6 hours is such a long time for anyone to be stuck on a tollway. What if it was your family member or friend? I hope they had some food and water while waiting. And the guy who died, RIP 
. It's always tragic when these kinds of incidents happen. I'm glad the authorities were able to respond quickly and reopen the tollway soon. But seriously, how do we even prevent these types of accidents from happening in the first place? More bike lanes or better road signage would be a good start... 
! Six hours is a pretty long time for a road closure. I feel so bad for the motorcyclist's family. Safety on our roads needs to be taken seriously. 
. Now back to normal traffic, hopefully a good lesson learned for all road users!
some dude was ridin his motorbike and got into an accidnt with two cars and now he's... 
yeah it's just so sad 6 hours of closure is a long time to be stuck in traffic especially when u gotta deal with that kinda stress rn thankfully tho the authorities did their thing and got everyone back on the road by lunchtime 
i feel bad for the family of the motorcyclist though 
what's going on in our world? can't believe another motorcyclist lost their life on the road... 6 hours is too long for an accident to happen and tollway reopening like this is just a reminder how fragile life is 
those deputies are doing their best but it feels like we're still not making progress in keeping our roads safe... tollway can't guarantee safety even with all the measures they take, so much depends on humans and their mistakes 
. I mean, can we please do more to make our roads safer for cyclists? It's just not fair when you're doing nothing wrong but still get taken away from your loved ones in an instant 
.
just read about that motorcyclist who got killed on the West Sam Houston Tollway... 6-hour closure is really long, you know? I'm all for keeping people safe, but at what cost? Roads should be safe enough to allow everyone to use them without fear of accidents.
, but it's a sad reminder of how fragile life can be. We need to look out for each other on our roads... 
. anyway, gotta wonder if this was more than just an accident. maybe there's some kinda conspiracy at play here... the authorities are keeping mum on all the details, which only adds to the mystery. and then it gets reopened after a few hours... that's just weird. what really happened out there? 
- at least they were able to get it reopened so quickly though 
. I do hope whoever was investigating got all the info they needed and can prevent anything like this from happening again soon 
.
.
. You never know how something like this can affect a person or a community... it's just one of those sad reminders that we're all human and our lives are precious 
. still gotta make sure our roads are safe for everyone 
. The speed at which they responded and managed to reopen the tollway is really commendable 
. It's just a reminder of how quickly things can go wrong, even on what seems like a safe route 
. Can't help but wonder what could've been done differently
