Motorcyclist’s body found; crash date is uncertain
The body of a motorcyclist was discovered near an overpass four miles southeast of Henrietta Thursday afternoon.
Department of Public Safety officials said the report was made about 3 p.m. on Aug. 15 after a bridge surveyor noticed the body while inspecting a bridge overpass along U.S. 287.
The driver was identified as Ronald Pierce Daniels, 61, Las Vegas, who had been listed as missing from Amarillo since Aug. 8.
The DPS report states Daniels was driving a 2001 Harley Davidson south on U.S. 287 at an unknown time.
The investigating trooper believes Daniels’ rear tire may have gone flat, which possibly caused his motorcycle to leave the roadway and enter the center median and crash. After the bridge surveyor noticed the body, he notified the Clay County Sheriff’s office.
Justice of the Peace John Swenson pronounced Daniels deceased upon arrival and the body was sent to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner for autopsy.
This crash remains under investigation by the DPS.
The jury was seated on Monday and the opening day of testimony Tuesday only lasted four hours, before the panel went into deliberations about 2 p.m.
Two hours later the jury returned a guilty verdict on both charges. Wednesday morning the jury was set to begin discussion on Hall’s punishment at 8:30 a.m. with both sides offering evidence and testimony. Hall faces up to 10 years in prison.
The trial was moved to Denton County on a change of venue requested by Hall in March. After 16th District Judge Sherry Shipman read the verdict, it was reported Hall hung her head in disappointment and was later seen crying and emotional as she left the courtroom.
Members of the Bowie City Council will meet in regular session at 6 p.m. on May 13 in council chambers.
The meeting opens with a proclamation for Emergency Medical Services Week.
City Manager Bert Cunningham will report on recent rainfall problems, Smythe Street sidewalk project and the substation work.
There is only one item of new business an ordinance related to speed limits on specific streets. Public comments and approval of minutes wrap up the agenda.
