Cheryl Kelly Dies after Motorcycle Accident on Decker Lane in Austin
Austin, Texas (June 16, 2018) – The woman who was critically injured when the motorcycle she was riding collided with another bike during last weekend’s Republic of Texas(ROT) rally has died, police said.
The deadly accident took place at about 10:22 p.m. Saturday, June 9 in the 7800 block of Decker Lane, near the Travis Expo Center.
According to the police, a black Harley-Davidson motorcycle was heading northbound on the inside lane on Decker Lane in the same direction as an orange Harley bike.
The driver of the orange Harley then slowed to make a U-turn when it was hit from behind by the black Harley.
The black motorcycle driver was transported to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries. But his passenger, Cheryl Kelly, 56, was taken to Dell Seton Medical Center with critical injuries. She succumbed to her injuries three days later on Tuesday, June 12, and was declared dead at 3:43 p.m.
Alcohol and drugs were not factors in the crash.
An investigation into the accident is underway.
