Accident Report

Fort Worth, TX — August 29, 2026, Preston Neumann was injured in a motorcycle accident just before 3 a.m. in the 900 block of Calhoun Street.

A preliminary accident report indicates that a 2019 Jeep Renegade allegedly ran a stop sign while heading east on East 9th Street and collided with a southbound 2024 Kawasaki EN450 motorcycle.

Motorcyclist Preston Neumann, 23, was seriously injured in the crash, according to the report.

The Jeep driver, a 42-year-old woman who was not injured, was charged with causing a collision involving serious bodily injury, the report states.

Authorities have not released any additional information about the Tarrant County crash at this time.

How Did This Accident Occur?

Initial reports contend the Jeep ran a stop sign to cause this crash, but at this point we don’t know why. Was the driver distracted or fatigued? Did the Jeep have a problem with its brakes? Was the stop sign damaged or missing? Authorities should consider every possible cause of this crash, no matter how remote, to sort out what really happened at this intersection.

A missing stop sign may sound far-fetched, but I once worked a crash that happened after construction crew neglected to put a stop sign back after finishing their work. I’m not saying that is what happened here, but it is an example of why investigators need to be thorough as they work to reconstruct this accident.

Vehicle data, physical evidence, witness statements and available video footage should help them piece together events leading to this crash, while cell phone records could show what the Jeep driver was doing at the time. A qualified expert should examine these vehicles if authorities suspect a mechanical issue contributed to this accident.
