KPD says the preliminary investigation shows Lilly was traveling east on Westcliff Road at a high rate of speed when a Mercedes traveling west began to turn south onto Moonlight Drive.
The dirt bike then struck the passenger side of the car, which caused Lilly to be ejected, coming to a rest in the roadway. The driver of the car remained on scene.
Lilly was not wearing a helmet and was on the street illegally with no lights, says Killeen police. The dirt bike was also reportedly stolen out of Nolanville.
Investigators with the Traffic Unit are investigating this fatality.
