Houston Personal Injury Attorneys – Smith & Hassler

There was a fatal accident Saturday morning between an SUV exiting a Kroger parking lot and an off duty HCSO deputy riding his motorcycle. The deputy was riding westbound on FM 2920 at around 11:00 a.m. when the SUV pulled into the deputy’s travel lane: he attempted to swerve around the vehicle but was unable to do so. The impact was enough to break the deputy’s motorcycle helmet. He was air-lifted to Memorial Hermann Hospital where he passed away. Precinct 4 will handle the investigation of the crash, though on the face of it, it appears the white Chevy Tahoe SUV failed to yield the right-of-way to the deputy’s motorbike. Channel 11’s story. According to Channel 13’s story, the deputy works at Harris County Jail. The Channel 13 account of the accident is somewhat more detailed: it says the deputy was thrown from his motorcycle after hitting the SUV leaving Kroger where he struck another SUV that was in the center turn lane waiting to turn left across 2920.

There was a collision between a Dodge Ram pickup truck and a child on a bicycle at around 5:30pm on Thursday March 22, 2012 and the child is in critical condition. Three children on bicycle were attempting to cross the street when one of them, a boy, was hit. According to Harris County Sheriff’s deputies, the boy suffered some cuts and bruises and a serious head wound. It is not expected that the driver will be charged because the boy was not in a crosswalk at the time of the crash. Channel 2’s coverage of the bicycle accident is here.
