A bicyclist crossing East Park Boulevard near N Avenue in Plano was struck by one of two vehicles speeding through the intersection with their headlights off on October 6, and both drivers kept going, according to police. The rider suffered serious injuries and has not been publicly identified. More than a month later, investigators still have not said whether anyone has been identified or arrested.
What Witnesses Told Police
According to a statement from the Plano Texas Police Department, officers were dispatched to a traffic crash involving serious bodily injury at the intersection. A witness reported seeing a black Honda Civic and a white SUV traveling eastbound on East Park Boulevard near N Avenue at high speed with their headlights off just before the crash. Per that same account, one of the two vehicles struck a person riding a bicycle who was crossing the roadway, and both vehicles then continued eastbound, leaving the scene.
Plano Fire-Rescue transported the bicyclist to a local hospital for treatment of serious injuries, the department said in its post. Investigators have not released the victim’s identity, age, or current condition.
Debris Points to Damage, But Not a Driver
Police said debris found at the scene was believed to be from the vehicle that struck the bicyclist, and that the debris indicated damage to one of the two cars described by the witness. The post does not say which of the two vehicles — the Civic or the SUV — is believed to have made contact with the cyclist, and the witness account alone does not establish that detail.
The case carries the reference number 2026-201600. Police are asking anyone with knowledge of the incident, anyone who witnessed the crash, or anyone with potential security video to contact the department’s non-emergency line at 972-424-5678.
