19 year old reckless driver accused of killing cyclist in SW Houston

A 19 year old driver stands accused of reckless driving in the death of a bicycle rider whom he hit on the southwest Houston U.S. 59 service road.  The driver, Mohammad Bilal Qureshi, faces a misdemeanor charge after cyclist Benjamin Marco Tzul, 35, died as a result of injuries sustained in a crash with Qureshi.

Qureshi was driving on U.S. 59 in a white Honda Civic when he cut across several traffic lanes to get to the exit.  However, while trying to manoeuver to the exit he hit a curb, lost control of his car on the service road, and crashed into cyclist Tzul.  Qureshi ended up colliding with a pole by the side of the service road.

Tzul was taken to Ben Taub General hospital to be treated for his injuries, however they were very serious and he died shortly after the accident.  Qureshi was also taken to a local hospital to be treated, but his injuries were minor.

Reckless drivers often cause crashes because they engage in unsafe behavior like rapid lane changes and excessive speeding, much like in this case.  The unfortunate bicycle rider did not stand a chance against the out-of-control Honda Civic, and he paid for the 19 year old driver’s bad decision with his life.
