Dallas Motorcycle Accident Leaves Man with Broken Neck

Posted on Aug 14, 2011

A Dallas motorcycle accident involving a sport utility vehicle (SUV) leaves a man with broken bones in his face, a ruptured spleen and a broken neck. The incident took place at approximately 1:45 on Monday afternoon, July 25, 2011, at the corner of Lemmon Avenue and Prescott Avenue.

According to reports, Matthew Meyer was riding his motorcycle near the corner of Lemmon Avenue and Prescott Avenue when he was struck by a red SUV. The driver of the SUV then fled the hit-and-run accident scene.

Rescue crews transported Mr. Meyer to a local hospital, where he spent several days in a coma. He woke up a few days later on his 23rd birthday.

"The accident happened on the 25th of July," said Cindy Meyer, the victim's mother. "Matt woke up on the 29th of July and that was his 23rd birthday. My son keeps saying that it's his second birth."

She also expressed concern over the fact that someone would leave her son lying on the road to die. She indicated that her son sustained burns to the back of his legs and back, due to the heat of the asphalt and pavement.

The Dallas motorcycle accident is still under investigation by local authorities as they continue to search for the hit-and-run driver.

This is an unfortunate incident, and we wish Mr. Meyer a speedy recovery during this difficult time.
