Williamson County, TX (8/30/2020) – A bicyclist was hit and killed in a hit-and-run crash in Williamson County.

The accident happened on Sunday on Ronald Reagan Boulevard around 9 a.m. A driver of a GMC Yukon struck a bicyclist as he was pedaling on the shoulder of the road.

Hit-and-runs are one of the most common accidents that we see and often involve claims that take extensive investigation to resolve. This is because when someone leaves the scene, it can be pretty hard to track down the person who ran, and it can be hard to prove that the victim was indeed struck by another vehicle. It is also hard to deal with insurance companies in these situations because there are so many reasons that can be used to deny the claim in its entirety.
