On Friday afternoon November 13, 2009, a Fort Worth Meacham airport pilot for Executive AirShare, driving in his full-size Hummer hit fellow Trophy Club resident, ME–the Lone Wolf Librarian– riding on a bicycle at a stop sign in Trophy Club on Trophy Lake Dr. while Kelley was exiting the Tom Thumb supermarket parking lot.
Trophy Club police officer K. Meeks (#065) told Mr. Lang that the incident was his fault for riding a bicycle on the sidewalk.
The officer said on the police report that Mr. Lang failed to yield the right of way to the Hummer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Although Mr. Lang said the driver failed to stop at the stop sign, no citation was given to the Hummer driver because the police officer did not see the incident. Officer Meeks completed a police report (Service #09-100670) which he said would not be available until at least next Tuesday.
The Hummer driver gave his insurance information to the police officer but said he would not share it with Mr. Lang until after he confers with legal counsel.
Mr. Lang’s Schwinn Classic Cruiser SS bicycle:
was destroyed and a few hours after the incident Mr. Lang went to the Keller CareNow facility to treat injuries.
I wonder if the story would have been different if it was the Hummer driver’s 7 year old riding the bike?
