Motorcyclist Killed In Austin Car Crash Identified

AUSTIN, TX — Police on Tuesday identified the woman who was killed after a crash between a car and motorcycle on Sunday.

The incident occurred just before 5 p.m. at the intersection of FM 2222 and City Park Road. Austin Police Department officers were dispatched to the location amid reports that a motorcycle had collided with an automobile as a black Yamaha bike was traveling westbound along the 6400 block of FM 2222 as the driver attempted to make a left turn to travel south onto City Park Road, police said.

Police say it appears the motorcyclist failed to yield the right of way to a 2013 white Acura RDX before being sruck by the oncoming SUV that was traveling eastbound along the 6600 block of FM 2222.

Medics administered life-saving measures on the motorcyclist that ultimately proved futile. The motorcyclist, Terri Lynne Campbell, 29, was pronounced dead at 5:25 p.m., police said. According to police, Campbell had a valid Texas driver's license with motorcycle endorsement, and was wearing a helmet and other protective gear at the time.
