[09-11-2020] Fresno County, CA - One Person Seriously Injured in a Motorcycle Crash at Manning AvenueAccording to the initial reports from local authorities, the collision happened in the morning at the intersection of Manning Avenue and Leonard Avenue.

A Dodge Charger crashed into the victim’s motorcycle for unexplained reasons. The Dodge reportedly pulled out into the motorcyclist’s path prior to the accident.

The motorcycle rider sustained serious injuries as a result of the crash. She was immediately taken to an area hospital for treatment. Additional details about the collision are limited at the moment.

Motorcycle Accident Investigation is Underway

Local authorities are currently investigating the crash further. Motorcycle riders are more vulnerable to the dangers on the roadway compared to passengers in private vehicles. Unlike passengers in private vehicles, motorcycle riders are not protected by seatbelts and airbags. According to the statistics from the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), motorcycle riders have 16 times the risk of injury and 35 times the risk of a fatal crash compared to car passengers.

Although a variety of laws protects motorcycle riders, motorcycle accidents are still an inevitable occurrence. Some of the common causes of motorcycle accidents are distracted driving, speeding, drunk driving, reckless driving, bad weather, wrong-way driving, and failure to observe traffic laws. In order to avoid sustaining major injuries, motorcycle riders are encouraged to dress appropriately and wear a helmet every time they ride their motorcycle to avoid fatal injuries. Wearing helmets were estimated to be 37% effective in preventing motorcycle deaths.
