A Katy man was killed Wednesday night in a motorcycle accident on Highway 105 in Washington County.

The accident occurred shortly before 9:15 p.m. in the eastbound lane of Highway 105 at FM 912, about four miles southwest of Washington.

According to DPS Sergeant Jimmy Morgan, 61-year-old J.B. Roberson lost control of his motorcycle after attempting to turn right onto FM 912 at what Sgt. Morgan called “an unsafe speed”.  The motorcycle skidded off the roadway into the eastbound ditch.

Roberson was pronounced dead at the scene.  No other vehicles were involved in the accident.
