Nocona man dies from injuries in motorcycle/car crash
On Dec. 4, a 63-year-old Nocona man riding a motorcycle died from injuries he received after striking a car vehicle that was attempting a U-turn on Farm-to-Market Road 2953.
The accident occurred at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday. Personnel with the Department of Public Safety reported Pedro Castro-Suarez, Nocona, was traveling east on FM 2953 in his 2011 Chevrolet passenger car, while Michael Frank Warton also was eastbound on the road driving his 2009 Kawasaki motorcycle.
Castro-Suarez was attempting to make a U-turn to go west on FM 2953 and did not see the motorcycle behind him. The DPS spokesman said Warton was unable to make an evasive maneuver and struck the passenger car on the driver’s side.
Warton was transported to Medical City in Denton where he later died from his injuries. DPS stated Warton was not wearing a helmet.
Castro-Suarez was transported to Nocona General Hospital with minor injuries and was later released.
The regular meeting of the Bowie City Council for July 22 has been cancelled. City Manager Bert Cunningham and Mayor Gaylynn Burris will be attending the Texas Public Power Association conference.
City of Bowie officials were on hand to inspect the emergency electrical generators that were delivered last week.
Mayor Gaylynn Burris and City Manager Bert Cunningham inspected one of three emergency electrical generators purchased as part of an ongoing Federal Emergency Management Agency Hazard Mitigation Grant. They also talked with Jay Evans, head of the city electric department, and Jerry Sutton, director of the water treatment plant about the next step for installation of the generators.
This grant provides funding for one 150 kW and two 250 kW generators for use at the water treatment plant.
