1 Injured in Motorcycle Truck Accident on F St. in Pecos, TX

Reeves County, TX — April 19, 2024, one person was injured in a motorcycle versus truck accident shortly before 12:00 noon along West F Street.

According to authorities, a 32-year-old man was traveling on an eastbound motorcycle behind an 18-wheeler on West F Street approaching the Alberta Street intersection when the accident took place.

The 18-wheeler was reportedly slowing in preparation of making a left turn onto northbound Alberta Street. Officials indicate that the motorcycle moved into the westbound lane in an attempt to pass the 18-wheeler on its left. Before the pass could be completed, however, the 18-wheeler initiated it’s left turn. This resulted in a collision between the motorcycle and the front-left tire of the truck.

No other injuries have been reported. Additional details pertaining to this incident—including the identity of the victim—are not available at this point in time.
