[ST] Springtime accidents



Here's another one that seems to fit the pattern. What a damn waste. 
I wonder if he'd been okay with a helmet? SIGH. BE CAREFUL out there 
folks

Motorcyclist, 23, killed in wreck
By CHRISTOPHER FERRELL
Eagle Staff Writer

A Texas A&M University student was killed Thursday morning when his 
motorcycle struck a trailer as the truck hauling it was turning off 
Texas Avenue.
Adam Keith Knott, 23, died at the College Station Medical Center 
shortly after his 1999 Kawasaki Ninja motorcycle hit a 16-foot 
flatbed trailer near the intersection of Texas Avenue and Brentwood 
Drive.
Police said Knott was not wearing a helmet.
Knott was traveling northbound on Texas Avenue as he approached a 
1988 Chevrolet S-10 pickup which was headed south, police said.
The truck, which was hauling the trailer, attempted to turn left onto 
Brentwood; Knott crashed into the trailer before the vehicle was able 
to clear the intersection, authorities said.
College Station Police Lt. Rodney Sigler said Knott was thrown from 
the motorcycle. Knott was taken to the College Station Medical Center 
by ambulance, but the junior engineering technology major died 
shortly after he arrived.
The 79-year-old driver of the truck was not injured.
Sigler said the department is continuing to investigate the accident 
and no charges or citations were issued Thursday.
A portion of Texas Avenue near Southwest Parkway was shut down for 
about four hours Thursday morning as police worked to reconstruct the 
accident and gather information.
