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.
On Friday city officials reported the intersection at Rock and Pillar was closed due to a sinkhole in the street. This area has been experiencing major drainage problems for many years damaging culverts and the street asphalt and concrete, with a portion of the street collapsing earlier in the spring. Drivers should avoid this area.
The Nocona City Council approved a trio of Nocona Economic Development Corporation requests and considered infrastructure work questioned by a city council.
Councilors met on June 10. Two of the NEDC requests had already been presented with the timeclock for comment started. With that time limit over, the requests were finalized.
The Type A and B Boards will spend $19,225 at the Indian Oaks Golf Club for equipment, aerifying and top dressing the greens and batteries for rental carts. It also will expend $20,000 to the Nocona Chisholm Trail Rodeo Arena Committee to build new concrete bleachers, railings, fence and platform.
The third NEDC request is a new one related to a Type B board loan of $200,000 to Amy and Chris Nunneley for a new apartment and office construction project.
