GRANBURY (AP) — Authorities are investigating after a car veered into a motorcycle on a rural North Texas road in an incident that left two people injured and was captured on video.

Eric Sanders, the driver of the motorcycle, contends the car's driver swerved intentionally. He suffered abrasions in the collision that left his girlfriend in a Fort Worth hospital with a broken wrist and deep arm lacerations.

Sanders said the crash happened Saturday afternoon on a county road about 5 miles north of Granbury. A video shows the motorcycle passing a car on the two-lane road. The car veered left over a double yellow center lane, upsetting the motorcycle and sending the riders into the roadway.

Dub Gillum, a senior trooper and spokesman for the Texas Highway Patrol, says that the agency has seen the video and that the car's driver may face felony charges.
