The San Bernardino County Coroner’s Office said that the person who died was a 24-year-old man, but the identity of the man riding the BMW motorcycle won’t be known until his family is notified.

It occurred around 9:12 a.m. on August 28, 2022, west of Rainbow Bridge Road on State Highway 138.

It was also identified that the crash involved a white 2014 BMW S1000RR motorcycle and a white 2022 Toyota Camry.

A news release from the sheriff’s office said that the Camry was going east on Highway 138, while the BMW and the driver of a Honda motorcycle were going west.

For some unknown reason, the BMW motorcycle went into the other lane of traffic and hit the Toyota head-on. The rider was killed by his injuries, and the San Bernardino County Fire Department pronounced him dead at the scene.

After the accident, the driver of the Honda motorcycle fell off his bike and broke his leg. Firefighters asked for a helicopter to land in the yard of a nearby ranch, and then a Mercy Air 22 helicopter took him to Loma Linda University Medical Center.

Fatal Multi-Vehicle Crash Statistics

The number of traffic accidents rises as the state’s economy grows. In 2010, there were 3,304 fatal car accidents, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Being behind the wheel of a car in California is incredibly dangerous. These collisions could have been avoided if the drivers involved had done more. More than 94% of all accidents are due to human error.

Depending on the severity, a car accident injury can be excruciatingly painful or even fatal. It’s easy for drivers to overlook the dangers of driving because of the frequency with which accidents occur.

Multi-vehicle accidents are those in which there are three or more vehicles involved. A head-on collision can cause a six-car pileup.

According to a new report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, over 13,000 people were killed in multi-vehicle collisions in 2010.

San Bernardino County Car Accident Lawyers

It is much easier to prosecute two drivers in a two-vehicle accident. It is more difficult to resolve multi-vehicle accidents.
Finding the person or persons responsible is more difficult. If two or more cars collided, it’s possible that many people would have been hurt.

If it is difficult to determine who was at fault in a multi-vehicle collision, you may not want to put your faith in an insurance company. Don’t put your faith in an insurance company’s ability to quickly resolve your claim because they put their own financial interests above those of their customers.
