A Travis County sheriff’s deputy was injured last Monday when his motorcycle was struck by a car northwest of Austin.
The crash occurred at Loop 360 and Way maker Way while the deputy was following another driver who was speeding. During the pursuit, a Range Rover SUV pulled out in front of the motorcycle and the two vehicles collided.
Initially, the deputy was taken to the University Medical Center Brackenridge with reports of life-threatening injuries. Now, however, he is expected to make a full recovery.
The driver of the Range Rover sustained no injuries.
