Motorcycle Accident Kills North Richland Hills Man
A 19-year-old Colleyville man died Saturday after his motorcycle crashed into the back of a pickup truck. Robert Turner was heading east in the 8500 block of Harwood Road in North Richland Hills on Saturday when a truck pulled out of an apartment complex parking lot right in front of him. Turner’s bike slammed into the back of the truck.
The accident happened around 9:45 p.m. Turner was rushed to John Peter Smith (JPS) Hospital in Fort Worth in serious condition and died from his injuries around 10:30.
Investigators say Turner was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. The driver of the truck was not injured. It is unknown whether speed was a factor or whether the truck driver was cited for failing to yield the right of way to Turner.
This is one of several motorcycle-related crashes and fatalities this month in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
