Weekend accidents injure one pedestrian, one motorcycle rider
Bowie emergency personnel responded to a pair of accidents across two different days where two people were transported to the hospital with minor injuries.
The first accident was a pedestrian/vehicle incident at 5:44 p.m. on Oct. 16 at Tarrant and Mason. The police report states Sylvia Raw Quance, 65, Chico was driving a Ford F350 pickup turning left from East Tarrant onto North Mason.
A pedestrian, Terry Lynn Mitchell, 70, Bowie, stepped out into the traffic lane approximately 20 feet south of the crosswalk, walking east. Police report the driver said she did not see Mitchell until she was about to strike him.
Mitchell was transported by Bowie EMS to Wise Regional Hospital with minor injuries.
The second accident was at 10:04 a.m. on Oct. 17 in the 100 block of Cowan Street. James Clifford Morris, 48, was riding a Suzuki motorcycle west on West Clay Street. Police report the driver ran across the yellow lane diver, applied the brakes, but lost control laying his motorcycle on its side. Morris injured his left ankle and hand. He was transported to Wise Regional.
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.
