BELL COUNTY (June 27, 2009)—A motorcycle rider from Temple died of his injuries after a Saturday morning head-on collision with an SUV on FM 2483 in Morgan’s Point.

The accident occurred at around 11 a.m. Saturday at the intersection of FM 2483 and Lake Forest Drive, Morgan’s Point Police Chief Randy Dixon said.

The motorcyclist, whom Dixon identified as Alan McClure, 55, of Temple, was taken to Scott & White Hospital where he later died about 90 minutes after the accident.

Dixon said McClure was headed west on FM 2483 approaching Lake Forest Drive when the driver of the SUV, who was identified only as a Harker Heights resident, turned left on FM 2483 and into the path of the oncoming motorcycle.

“It appears the driver of the motorcycle was not wearing a safety helmet,” Dixon said in a press release Saturday.

Neither the two adults nor the juvenile in the SUV was injured.

The driver of the SUV will be charged with failure to yield right of way, Dixon said.

Morgan’s Point police are investigating the fatal accident with assistance from the Temple Police Department’s accident reconstruction unit, Dixon said.
