Lufkin TX motorcyclist seriously injured in accident with car

A motorcyclist had to be taken by helicopter to a hospital after being hit by a car in Lufkin, Texas.  The driver of the car, Mary Galloway, 90, pulled out in front of the motorcyclist, Anthony Lofton, 26.

Lofton skidded when he tried to avoid the car, and when he fell as a result of the skid he hit the car, a 2006 Ford Taurus.  Lofton was initially taken to local Memorial Health System of East Texas, but his injuries required that he be taken by helicopter to a different hospital.

Doctors have said they don’t believe that Lofton’s injuries are life-threatening, although the exact extent of his injuries is unknown.

Over 400 motorcyclists are killed every year in Texas, and about half of these deaths occur when the motorcycle is involved in an accident with another vehicle.
