A Dallas man, who was riding a rental scooter died after an accident on Saturday, according to reports.

The 24-year-old Jacoby Stoneking was found unresponsive by a Lyft driver around 4 a.m. Saturday in the 500 blocks of Munger Boulevard.

According to reports, Stoneking called his friend after he fell to ask for a Lyft. Stoneking had been riding home from work when the accident took place. He was taken to Baylor University Medical Center by Dallas emergency services. He did from his injuries.

There was no debris from a car to suggest he was hit, but Stoneking's father, Jack, believes his son must have been hit by a car to be killed riding a scooter, Fox4 reports.

"Going from the police report and looking at the injuries, they don't match. It's obvious that they hit my son from behind," Stoneking said of the alleged car involved.

Supporting Stoneking's theory is the fact that police found the Lime scooter broken in half.

"For someone to hit their head so hard off of the scooter going 20 miles an hour, to cause brain damage? It just doesn't make sense," Kenneth Moore, Stoneking's friend, and roommate, said, according to Fox4.

Jacoby's half-brother, Chris Phillips, said "His injuries on certain parts of his body (don't) tell me that he just fell," according to WFAA.

"We are deeply saddened to hear the report of this incident in Dallas. Our thoughts and sympathies are with the family and loved ones. We are awaiting the results of the investigation, and we will cooperate fully with the authorities," Lime's Mary Caroline Pruitt said in a statement, Fox4 reports.

The Medical Examiner's Office will perform an autopsy to determine Stoneking's cause of death.
