Balch Springs officer killed in Dallas motorcycle wreck 
An off duty Balch Springs Police Officer died early Sunday when he crashed his motorcycle into a retaining wall in the Dallas Canyon.
The impact ejected Officer Matthew Garcia, 35, from his motorcycle from the Northbound entrance ramp of Cesar Chavez Boulevard. He landed 25 feet below on the shoulder of Interstate 30.
Dallas Police told NBCDFW, Garcia is a four year veteran of the Balch Springs force. His wife was following the motorcycle and witnessed the tragedy.

Garcia was transported to Baylor Medical Center in Dallas, where he died.
