What the Law Says
Texas Transportation Code Section 545.351 requires drivers to control their speed as necessary to avoid colliding with any object, vehicle, or person on the roadway, and to reduce speed when approaching a curve, intersection, or highway exit. Fort Worth police say the motorcyclist in this crash missed his turn before striking a retaining wall, precisely the kind of scenario this speed and roadway control statute is meant to prevent. If it is determined that the rider or another party failed to maintain proper control, this statute could become relevant to any resulting investigation or civil claim.
Texas Transportation Code Section 661.003 requires motorcycle operators and passengers under 21 to wear protective headgear, while riders 21 and older may ride without a helmet only if they have completed an approved safety course or carry at least $10,000 in medical insurance coverage. Whether the rider in this crash was wearing a helmet has not been publicly confirmed. Data cited in local reporting shows helmets reduce the risk of death in a motorcycle crash by roughly 37 percent, making this statute directly relevant to the outcome of fatal wrecks like this one.
