Biker Down: Pickup Driver Turns Left into Motorcyclist on Sherwood Way

By Joe Hyde, May 1, 2017
 

A motorcyclist collided with a pickup on Sherwood Way near Arden Road just after lunch today.

According to San Angelo police officers, the pickup was eastbound on Sherwood Way attempting to turn left into the private drive for The Smiling Moose and Freebird's. A driver in the inside lane facing west signaled the pickup driver to turn.

However, a motorcyclist driving a Yamaha R-1 was westbound in the outside lane next to the signaling driver. The motorcyclist and left-turning pickup met at the entrance to the private drive.

Police said the motorcyclist was injured, but they believe the injuries to be non-life-threatening injuries. He was rushed to Shannon Medical Center in an ambulance.

The driver of the pickup was given a traffic citation for failure to yield the right-of-way while conducting a left turn.

Correction: Originally we reported the pickup driver was turning left onto Arden Rd. The pickup was actually turning left into the parking lot of The Smiling Moose and Freebird's restaurants. The story has been updated.

Even YOUR San Angelo LIVE photo shows the traffic lane(s) blocked "during lunch hour", yet WHERE WAS THE NIXLE ! ! !
The protocol and implementation of the NIXLE ALERT SYSTEM is terminally FLAWED ! ! ! Who will legitimately trust an upgraded NIXLE to warn us of impending threatening weather or other potential disasters ?!?!?

Ok, Mr. Bariou........we understand you ONLY care about NIXLE! Your past, oh I don't know, 20 post have been in regards to NIXEL. Seeing as you are a board member on the city of San Angelo Development Corporation, what can you do instead of wasting your time on here to address the issue that YOU continue to bring up? The biggest problem with this entire town is the "Board Members" and City Council refuse to act but love to blow smoke! Talk to someone other than the few of us that read these "rants". Thanks for wasting our time, and your own time, by reading my rebuttal! Good day, sir!
