CORYELL COUNTY, Texas — A motorcyclist is dead following an accident involving a pick-up truck in Coryell County Thursday, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.
A 73-year-old Copperas Cove woman was driving a 2005 Dodge 1500 pick-up truck and stopped on Willow Loop at the intersection of FM-116.
Billy Ray Miller, 55, of Copperas Cove, was driving a 2013 Harley Davidson motorcycle southbound on FM-116 approaching Willow Loop when the crash happened, Texas DPS Sgt. Bryan Washko said.
Instead of yielding to Miller, the driver of the Dodge pulled into Miller’s path, causing Miller to crash into the truck’s rear left side, Washko said.
Miller was taken to the Baylor Scott and White emergency room in Temple where he later died.
The Texas DPS said an investigation for this crash is still active and open.
The Texas DPS also stressed the importance of drivers to look out for motorcycles, especially at intersections, where motorcycle collisions most commonly occur.
