A man has died almost three weeks after he was struck by a pickup that failed to yield right of way.
The pickup was in the westbound lanes of the 3200 block of U.S. 180 in Mineral Wells at 5:45 a.m. on Nov. 10, attempting to turn left onto Garret Morris Parkway, according to the Mineral Wells Police Department report.
The woman driving the pickup failed to yield to the oncoming motorcycle and turned in front of it, crashing into it. The victim was thrown from his motorcycle and was flown by air ambulance to a Fort Worth hospital, according to the police report.
Jerry Starks, 38, of Mineral Wells, died Tuesday night at the hospital, according to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner.
Mineral Wells Police Chief Dean Sullivan said it will be up to the district attorney’s office to determine whether charges are filed.
