A 69-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene after a fatal motorcycle accident on Interstate 40 in Gray County, Sunday afternoon.
Last June 15, just before 3:00 p.m., a motorcycle was seen traveling along I-40, three miles east of McLean. As it headed east on, the trailer the motorcycle was towing, started to sway causing its rider to lose control. The motorcycle then veered off the roadway and onto the ditch, ejecting its rider.
The 69-year-old Oklohoma motorcyclist sustained life-threatening injuries as a result of the collision. He was pronounced deceased by emergency crews who responded to the scene. His identification has not been released.
No other injuries were reported at this time.
The Texas Highway Patrol is investigating the crash.
We offer our sincerest sympathies to the family and friends of the deceased victim. May God grant you the strength to go through this difficult time in your life. We believe that the Gray County Police will do everything to bring those responsible to justice.
In the United States, Texas is one of the leading states in the number of traffic collisions involving fatalities. In fact, in 2015 alone, the state recorded more than 1,300 deaths caused by reckless drivers. Despite the government’s aggressive efforts to keep these cases down, Texas remains the worst state in the country for alcohol-involved car crashes.
If you have been involved in a car accident with a hit-and-run or reckless driver, the first thing you need to do is call the police. Once the investigation is completed, you can file a lawsuit against the suspected driver. A successful case could help you cover your medical expenses and compensate for your emotional and physical suffering. Speak with your personal injury lawyer to know more about your rights to fair compensation.
