A Grapevine man died this morning after running two red lights and eluding an officer, possibly at speeds of 100 mph or more, Bedford police said.

Lt. Kirk Roberts said an officer saw motorcyclist Brett Miller, 26, run a red light at Martin Drive and Harwood Road about 5:30 this morning.

The officer — who did not activate his lights and sirens — drove up to Miller and noticed a license plate was missing. Police said Miller then ran another red light at Central Drive, and the officer activated his lights and sirens.

Miller sped away at an estimated 60 mph in a 40 mph zone before turning around in a parking lot and heading down Central in the opposite direction, police said.

As Miller traveled through the Bedford Road intersection, he crashed into the driver’s side of a four-door car.

Police said Miller may have been traveling at 100 mph or more. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The car’s driver was taken to North Hills Hospital in North Richland Hills, and the patient's condition was not immediately available, police said.
