Hurst Motorcyclist Hit by SUV in North Richland Hills, Texas

A 29-year-old man was taken to the hospital today with life-threatening injuries when he was struck by an SUV attempting to make a U-turn across several lanes of traffic.

The crash happened in the 8500 block of Davis Boulevard near Tarrant Parkway North. All four passengers of the SUV, a man, woman and two children, were taken to the hospital but their injuries were not life threatening, according to police. The collision occurred when the SUV turned out of a parking lot going northbound, then attempted to make a U-turn in the middle of the street.

As of this afternoon, the motorcyclist’s condition is unavailable. I sure hope he is going to be alright. This was an accident that never would have happened if the driver of the SUV was just paying a little more attention to the other vehicles around him. Unfortunately, motorcyclists are extremely vulnerable to these types of accidents. I have seen time and time again how drivers of passenger cars just plain never see motorcyclists.
