Deputy on motorcycle involved in crash in Fort Bend County, sheriff's office says

FORT BEND COUNTY, Texas — A Fort Bend County Sheriff’s deputy on a motorcycle was involved in a crash Monday morning, according to the sheriff’s office.

This happened on Almeda Road and Shadowcreek Parkway just south of Beltway 8. Views from Air 11 showed that two other vehicles appeared to be involved in the crash.

The sheriff's office said the deputy was on his way to respond to a multiple-vehicle wreck on FM 521 just before 8 a.m. While he was driving on his patrol motorcycle, a woman attempting to make a U-turn to escape traffic, crashed into him.

The good news is the deputy wasn't seriously hurt and is expected to be OK.

The driver in the other vehicle sustained a broken arm from the accident. No word yet if she will be cited by state troopers, who are investigating it.
