Update 1:15 p.m.
Officer Ed Hunger of the San Angelo Police Department Traffic Division was the investigator of this crash. He said that the motorcycle was headed east in the inside lane passing through the 5500 block of Sherwood Way. At the same time, the Ford F-250 was attempting to turn west (left) from the Walmart entrance between Wendy’s and Chick-Fil-A.
Hunger said that the driver told him that he did not see the motorcycle and ran into it. The force of the impact pushed the motorcycle and it’s driver approximately 10 feet, across a lane of traffic. Hunger said that the F-250 was not traveling at a high rate of speed, which minimized the force of the impact.
The motorcyclist was sent to Shannon via ambulance with unknown injuries. However, we saw that the motorcyclist was conscious as he was loaded into the ambulance.
Hunger cited the driver of the F-250 for failure to yield right-of-way from a private drive. Hunger confirmed that the bike was a 2005 Honda.
