Bacliff Man Killed in Motorcycle vs. Car Collision in La Marque La Marque Police are investigating a fatal head-on crash between a motorcycle and a car late Friday (11/6/2026). The crash occurred around 10:23 PM at the intersection of State Highway 146 and State Highway 3. The initial investigation indicated that a motorcycle was traveling north and crossed over into the southbound lane of State Highway 146 and collided head-on with a southbound Dodge Charger that was coming over a bridge. The man riding the motorcycle was killed, while the driver of the Charger was injured after the car careened off the road into a grassy median between the two highways and caught fire, La Marque Police Chief Byron Frankland said. The medical conditions of the female driver of the sports car and the extent of her injuries were unconfirmed, but were reported as non-life-threatening.

Saturday afternoon the Galveston County Medical Examiner’s Office identified James Poff, 60, of Bacliff as the man killed in the crash. The fatality was the second deadly motorcycle crash on Friday, the first full day of the annual Lone Star Rally motorcycle event in Galveston. A motorcyclist was killed, and three others were airlifted after a head-on crash involving five motorcycles on State Highway 87 on the Bolivar Peninsula, Galveston County Sheriff Jimmy Fullen said.
