Bell Co. motorcyclist, Amanda Bell, struck during police chase

ROYSE CITY, TX – A woman sustained serious injuries last Friday when a car fleeing police struck her motorcycle along a major roadway in southeast Royse City.

According to NBC DFW 5, the two-vehicle collision happened around 9:45 p.m. on FM-35 near Mercer Drive, which is east of Stone River Golf Club and south of Royse City High School.

The investigation so far indicates that a driver was evading police when they entered oncoming traffic and collided head-on with a motorcycle on FM-35.

Medics airlifted the motorcyclist, since identified as Amanda Bell, to the hospital with serious injuries. Bell underwent multiple surgeries as a result of the crash, including a leg amputation.

No other injuries have been referenced in connection to the accident, and DPS has not yet disclosed the reason for the police chase.

The investigation is ongoing.
