Anthony Cortez, 57, was pronounced dead at the scene on FM 2673 at 6:40 p.m., according to the Texas Department of Public Safety. Cortez, of Canyon Lake, was driving a Harley Davidson when he was hit by a 2008 Honda Accord driven by Diana Handby, 47. Handby, also from Canyon Lake, swerved into the northbound lane and struck Cortez, who was wearing a helmet, according to DPS. Handby suffered unknown injuries and was taken to University Hospital, according to DPS.
Tony was a member of www.HillCountryRoadRunners.org. I did not know Tony well. He was someone I saw around the Lake at events. But I was saddened to hear of his untimely death. I explicitly remembered taking the photograph of his colors because I remember thinking at the time that I should holler at him to turn around, but I got distracted too quickly ("I'll catch him later"). I do not know of any other photos I have of him, so if you find any, please let me know. It
