Motorcycle Accident Investigation is Underway

Local authorities are currently investigating the cause of the crash through the official investigation. 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 follow traffic laws.

The legs and the feet are the most common body parts injured during motorcycle crashes. Sustaining fractures and broken bones are expected, followed by contusions/abrasions, lacerations, and sprains. Of course, catastrophic injuries also occur, with the possibility of paralysis and death. 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.
