Norristown, PA, Motorcycle and Hit and Run Leaves One Seriously Injured.


Posted on Nov 18, 2008

According to the Norristown Times-Herald, Carl Bean, 38, of Parker Ford, Pennsylvania, was riding a motorcycle westbound on the 800 block of West Main Street in Norristown, PA, on Thursday, September 27, 2008, a few minutes after 7 PM, when disaster struck and he became the victim of a hit-and-run case.

A 1988 Acura was driving eastbound on the same road when the car turned suddenly toward Stanbridge Street, according to the motorcyclist. Bean, from Chester County, PA, was not able to veer out of the vehicle's path, but rather toppled over on the roadway after trying to miss the path of the ongoing car.

According to Norristown Police reports, the car then ran over the downed bike and continued driving. The driver of the car not only continued on for approximately 30 feet with the biker trapped under his car, but also proceeded to turn onto Stanbridge Street. When the driver stopped just after the intersection, he got out of his car and immediately fled on foot.

Although authorities are not sure who was in the vehicle at the time of the motorcycle accident and subsequent hit-and-run, the accident report listed the owner of the car as Jose Martinez-Primitivo of Woodland, California.

Bean, meanwhile, was pulled out from under the car wreck by a local rescue team. He was then airlifted to the University of Pennsylvania Hospital, with serious head injuries. Days later, Bean is still recovering at the city hospital and is listed as in stable condition, according to Norristown Police Chief Russell Bono.

If you have any information on this hit-and-run case, or were a witness to the accident, contact the Norristown Police immediately.
