Murfreesboro Police Department (MPD) Fatal Accident Crash Team (FACT) investigators are still investigating the causes of two separate fatal crashes over the weekend in Murfreesboro. Both fatal crash victims identified.
Terry Sague, 76, of Castalian Springs, died after being hit by a car while he was on the sidewalk on his recumbent bike waiting for the traffic light to change at the cross walk. The crash occurred at the corner of Joe Knight Drive and Medical Center Parkway at 11:49 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 3. A second recumbent bike rider was sideswiped and injured. He was taken to the hospital, and at last check, was listed in stable condition.
So far, the investigation indicates, the driver of a 2020 Lexus RC3 skidded and swerved from the inside lane of Medical Center Parkway, continued onto the sidewalk, and collided with two of three recumbent bicycle riders. The car then hit a pedestrian crosswalk pole and came to a stop after hitting a tree.
The driver of the Lexus was not hurt. Charges may be pending.
