Dale Curruth of Little Elm was killed on April 14, 2011 in a motor vehicle accident.

The Dallas Morning News reported: A 23-year-old Little Elm man died Thursday after his motorcycle collided with a passenger vehicle in front of Wal-mart at FM423 and Eldorado Parkway.

Frisco police identified the motorcyclist as Dale Curruth.

Investigators say the vehicle was traveling southbound on FM423 at 4:45 p.m. when it attempted to turn left into the Wal-Mart parking lot. Curruth was traveling northbound on FM423 and struck the side of the passenger vehicle, which had failed to yield the right of way.

Curruth, who was wearing a helmet, was transported to Centennial Medical Center in Frisco, where he was pronounced dead.

The intersection was closed for nearly five hours after the wreck. The investigation is continuing. No charges have been filed.

Few details were available from the news reports so it is difficult to determine legal responsibility. As in most cases of this type it is important to have an early investigation by an independent objective source. Contact by a friend or relative with the family attorney would assist the family at this tragic time.
