Texas roads teach us the importance of sharing the road with bike riders and motorcyclists almost daily. Sadly, both bike and motorcycle injuries are commonplace in Dallas, Fort Worth and other cities, as many car drivers fail to keep a proper look-out for the said bikes. All it takes is one moment of bad timing or decision making to end the life of a motorcyclist, or at least change it forever. A female passenger on a motorcycle was killed in the Dallas-Fort Worth area last week after a collision with a car. Both lights at the intersection in Grapevine, Texas were yellow when the accident occurred. Another woman’s Dodge Charger attempted to turn left while she was westbound on Texas 26 onto Kimball Road when she crashed right into the male driver of the motorcycle and his female passenger. The motorcycle rider in question was flown to Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, but his condition is unknown.
The police continue to investigate the collision and why the Dodge driver failed to yield to the motorcycle. It is extremely easy and common for drivers to make left turns into motorcyclists, because those turns require a driver to look extremely carefully. Many drivers simply do not see the motorcycles they turn into, because they unconsciously expect other cars. The name of the victim of this crash has not been released.
