Donna man riding bicycle hit, killed in crash north of Weslaco

A Donna resident is dead after being hit by a box truck as he rode a bike just north of Weslaco, according to a press release from the Texas Department of Public Safety.

DPS is currently investigating the fatal crash that left 47-year-old Gerardo Reyes Gonzalez Angeles dead.

At about 6:27 a.m. on Tuesday, Reyes was traveling northbound on the inside lane of FM 1015 north of Joe Olivarez Street and was approaching Ramiro Guerra Drive.

That was when a 2024 Ford E-450 box truck driven by a man, also traveling northbound behind Reyes, approached the cyclist and hit him, according to the release.

DPS did not immediately identify the driver of the box truck.

“The rider projected off the bicycle and onto the asphalt and sustained major injuries,” the release said.

Reyes was then transported to the Knapp Medical Center where he later died.

DPS troopers continue in their investigation.
