Texas streets are generally not designed with the pedestrian or bicyclist in mind. And our Harris County bicycle accident attorneys realize that Texas drivers don’t always do well sharing the road with bicyclists or pedestrians. The news from Harris County chronically reports pedestrian injuries from motor vehicle accidents. And two recent reports of bicyclist injuries from motor vehicle accidents reveal the danger that cyclists experience every day as they try to share our Harris County roads with cars and trucks.
On Wednesday morning, a car in Harris County struck a woman on a bicycle at the intersection of Cypress North Houston Boulevard and Barker Cypress Road. As the bicyclist tried to cross the road, the car hit her and tossed her into a ditch, and she required transport to the hospital for serious, possibly life threatening, injuries.
