On Sunday, June 21, 2020, at approximately 4:58 p.m., APD officers were dispatched to a motorcycle versus automobile crash at the intersection of FM 2222 and City Park Rd. The preliminary investigation shows that a 2009, black Yamaha motorcycle was traveling westbound in the 6500 block of FM 2222 and was attempting to make a left turn to go south onto the 6400 block of City Park Rd. It appears the motorcycle failed to yield the right of way to a 2013, white Acura RDX and was struck by the oncoming SUV which was traveling eastbound in the 6600 block of FM 2222.
Austin-Travis County EMS and the Austin Fire Department (AFD) performed lifesaving measures on the motorcycle driver, but she was pronounced deceased on scene at 5:25 p.m. The motorcycle driver was wearing a helmet and other protective gear and had a valid Texas driver’s license with motorcycle endorsement. The driver of the SUV remained on scene and is cooperating fully with the investigation. At this time, it is not believed that driver impairment or speeding were factors in this crash.
