Pedestrian killed by car was doctor with VA
By Safiya Merchant, Staff Writer : June 25, 2013 : Updated: June 25, 2013 10:14pm
Dr. Patrick W. Lindner Jr., a local Veterans Affairs doctor, died after a Monday morning accident in which he was struck by a car that veered onto the sidewalk.
The accident occurred about 8:41 a.m. at Wurzbach Road and Merton Minter. According to a Police Department spokeswoman, the driver of the car, 79-year-old Michael Barr, said he was heading to a post office when he lost control of the car and crashed into the curb. Barr later attributed his inability to avoid the curb to his steering wheel suddenly locking.
Lindner, 33, was taken to University Hospital, where he later died.
Police wrote in an email that another driver, 29-year-old Aldo E. Arredondo, said that when he stopped at a red light, he saw Barr driving behind him, speeding and then hitting the curb after he tried to avoid Arredondo's car.
The case is under investigation, and no one has been charged, police said.
A statement sent to the faculty of the School of Medicine at the University of Texas Health Science Center said Lindner graduated from the school in 2006 and became a faculty member in 2009. There, in 2012, he was awarded the Best Outpatient Faculty Award.
“He instilled enthusiasm and energy in all those around him, serving as an advocate for learners and fostering a positive learning environment,” according to the statement.
Lindner also worked at the Audie Murphy VA Hospital, had a wife and two children, and attended Alamo Heights Presbyterian Church.
The Rev. Richard Knott, the senior pastor of Lindner's church, said Lindner donated to the church's day school and was always an “encourager” for him by commenting on his sermons and indicating which ones he liked. When he wasn't working, he enjoyed fishing at Port Aransas and cutting the cedar at his ranch.
Knott added that Lindner was a good friend and a loving father and husband.
“No matter who you were, he cared about you,” Knott said.
