MFPD seeks info on hit and run

By Alexandria Randolph

Marble Falls Police are seeking information on a hit-and-run accident that occurred at the intersection of US 281 and Mormon Mill Road last week.

Officer Dorian Turner said the incident happened Thursday, Aug. 21, at about 2:41 p.m. when the driver of a white midsized SUV turned in front of motorcyclist Kenneth Sisco, 56, of Kingsland.

“It was a witness call-in. He (Sisco) was injured on his shoulder and hand,” Turner said.

Turner said the motorcyclist was northbound in the right-hand lane approaching the Mormon Mill Road intersection when he had to make a quick decision to avert an accident.

“He saw the white vehicle headed southbound turning left to go east. The vehicle had a green light but not a protected turn,” Turner said. “He had to turn the bike over to avoid direct impact. The motorcycle struck the back of the SUV.”

The witnesses of the accident may have been so concerned with the safety of Sisco they didn’t see that the SUV left the scene, Turner said.

“It’s not normal around here for somebody to flee an accident when someone is injured,” Turner said. “It’s a state jail felony.”
