On Friday afternoon November 13, 2009, Shane Kelley, a Fort Worth Meacham airport pilot for Executive AirShare, driving in his full-size Hummer hit fellow Trophy Club resident, ME–the Lone Wolf Librarian– riding on a bicycle at a stop sign in Trophy Club on Trophy Lake Dr. while Kelley was exiting the Tom Thumb supermarket parking lot.
Trophy Club police officer K. Meeks (#065) told Mr. Lang that the incident was his fault for riding a bicycle on the sidewalk.
Although Mr. Lang said Kelley failed to stop at the stop sign, no citation was given to Kelley because the police officer did not see the incident. Officer Meeks completed a police report (Service #09-100670) which he said would not be available until at least next Tuesday.
Mr. Kelley gave his insurance information to the police officer but said he would not share it with Mr. Lang until after he confers with legal counsel.
Mr. Lang’s Schwinn Classic Cruiser SS bicycle was destroyed and a few hours after the incident Mr. Lang went to the Keller CareNow facility to treat injuries.
I wonder if the story would have been different if it was Mr. Kelley’s 7 year old riding the bike?
Bicycles are not supposed to ride on the sidewalk. My understanding is that bicycles fall under the motor vehicle designation and since cars do not drive on the sidewalk bicycles should not either. Now as to incident you were involved in I find it interesting that Mr. Shane thought he needed legal counsel before disclosing his insurance information to you. Did he think there was a violation or other issue?
