One Killed in Houston Bicycle Accident on West Little York Road at Eastex Freeway 

Houston, Texas (November 21, 2020) – One person was killed in a bicycle accident Wednesday afternoon in Houston, according to police.

The deadly accident happened around 4:35 p.m., November 18, in the 3800 block of West Little York Road at the intersection of the Eastex Freeway (North U.S. Highway 59) service road. 

Police said a black Chevrolet pickup truck was making a right turn at the intersection while a bicyclist was waiting at a crosswalk at the intersection.

The bicyclist tried to cross the street as the pickup was also making a turn and was hit.

The bicyclist was taken to Ben Taub General Hospital, where he later died. His name has not been released.

The pickup driver remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators.

The Houston police are investigating the crash.

We pass our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the deceased.

With the surge in popularity of alternate transportation to save on fuel costs, bicycling has emerged as a new form of mobility forced to compete with motorized traffic in dangerous situations. This has resulted in many more accidents between human-powered vehicles and powerful engine-driven machines, producing tragic injuries as well as countless fatalities.
