McAllen, TX (August 7, 2023) - On Friday morning, August 4, a woman was hurt after a two-vehicle crash in the McAllen area.
The accident was originally reported at the intersection of Tamarack Avenue and 10th Street early that morning at around 10:02 a.m. It was reported that a woman was traveling on a motorcycle when a semi-truck hit her. The driver of the rig fled the scene but was later apprehended by authorities.
The bike rider was transported to a local hospital for treatment and evaluation. The truck driver is currently facing charges. The area was closed for several hours while emergency crews were present.
No updates on the condition of the crash victims have been provided.
An investigation into the cause of the crash is ongoing. As it continues, additional information will be provided.
Our thoughts are with the injured victim and her family at this time. We hope for a full recovery.
Riding a motorcycle is far from safe, and statistics show that a motorcyclist is killed every day on Texas roadways. There were 562 riders who were killed in motorcycle crashes in the state in 2022, and a total of 2,422 people suffered injuries in the accidents. This is a significant increase from the 458 motorcycle deaths reported in the state in 2013. Motorcycle accidents are becoming increasingly fatal, with recent statistics showing that the fatality rate in motorcycle crashes shot up 12 percent from 2017 to 2021. A motorcycle crash can change your life in a matter of seconds, and despite what many people believe, riders are often not responsible for serious car accidents that take place on Texas roadways. Motorcycles are much smaller than other vehicles on the road, meaning that they can be harder to spot. When a vehicle as large as a semi hits a rider, the outcome can be outright devastating for those involved. Motorcyclists have to follow important rules of the road, just like any other driver. However, when a reckless motorist causes a serious car accident that results in the death or injury of an innocent rider, the at-fault party should be held accountable.
