Authorities said they believe the driver of the sedan hit a guardrail and spun before landing backwards on the westbound access road not far from the entrance to The Shops at La Cantera.
Police said the motorcyclist apparently did not see the silver sedan on the dark road until it was too late and then drove right into it. The motorcyclist was thrown off the bike police said, after hitting Salinas while he stood in the road. Salinas was pronounced dead at the scene.
The motorcyclist was taken to University Hospital for his injuries. He has not been identified.
