[09-20-2022] San Bernardino County, CA – Motorcyclist Seriously Injured Following an Accident on Main Street in Hesperia

A motorcyclist was badly injured after colliding with a vehicle in Hesperia on Tuesday morning, September 20, 2022.

The crash occurred shortly before 9:00 a.m. in the 14400 block of Main Street, west of Maple Avenue.

Firefighters from San Bernardino County responded to the accident and discovered the 2011 Yamaha motorcycle and its rider in the street. The passenger side of a white 2016 Mitsubishi Lancer involved in the collision got substantial damage and came to a stop near the entrance of the Stater Brothers shopping center.

According to authorities, the driver of the Mitsubishi attempted to make a left turn into the business parking lot, right into the path of the motorcycle, causing the crash.

The motorcyclist was airlifted to an out-of-area trauma hospital. The vehicle’s female driver was not hurt and remained at the scene.

The accident led police to close the No. 2 lane of Main Street for investigation while the vehicles were removed from the scene.

Alcohol or drugs do not appear to have contributed to the crash.

Motorcycle Accident Statistics

Motorcycle accidents are all too common. In 2018, there were over 5,000 motorcycle fatalities in the United States alone. While motorcycles can be great fun to ride, they also come with a greater risk of serious injury or death than other vehicles on the road.

Motorcycle accidents can be much more dangerous than accidents involving other vehicles. This is because motorcyclists are less protected than occupants of cars or trucks and are more likely to be ejected from their bikes in a collision. Furthermore, motorcycles are less visible to other drivers, making it harder for them to avoid accidents.

Many different factors can contribute to a motorcycle accident. Some of the most common include:

• Speeding or driving too fast for conditions
• Inexperienced riders
• Distracted driving
• Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
• Poor road conditions
• Defective motorcycle parts
• Bad weather can also play a role in motorcycle accidents. For example, wet roads can make it more difficult for motorcycle riders to stop or turn quickly if necessary.
