SHERMAN, TX -- An accident in Sherman this afternoon left one man dead, another in jail, and Northbound U.S. Highway 75 shut down for nearly two hours.

Police say around 12:30 p.m. Thursday a semi headed northbound near Bearcat Stadium in the right hand lane moved left. A motorcyclist, 22-year-old John David Cox, of Denison, was already in that lane. Cox was forced into the guardrail before he was ejected from the bike. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver of that semi truck, 46-year-old James Edward Cornelious, of Arkansas, was arrested and booked into the Grayson County Jail charged with criminally negligent homicide resulting from an unsafe lane change.

Northbound U.S. Highway 75 reopened around 2:30 p.m.

Police say Cox was not wearing a helmet.
