[06-25-2020] Los Angeles, CA – Two People Injured After a Motorcycle Accident near Osborne Street

Two people were hurt after a motorcycle accident in the Lake View Terrace area on Thursday morning, June 25th.

Foothill Boulevard near Osborne StreetAccording to the initial reports from the California Highway Patrol, the accident transpired at around 12:58 a.m. A motorcycle collided head-on with a truck on the 11400 block of Foothill Boulevard near Osborne Street for unknown reasons.

The people riding the motorcycle were ejected from their bike due to the severity of the impact. Both of the motorcycle riders sustained severe injuries. They were immediately transported to a nearby hospital to receive treatment for their injuries.

It is unclear whether the truck driver was injured too as a result of the accident. The driver of the pickup truck remained at the scene and cooperated with local authorities.

Motorcycle Accident Investigation is Underway

Local authorities are now attempting to determine the cause of the accident through the official investigation.

According to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) data, motorcycle riders are 16 times more at risk of injury and 35 times more at risk of facing fatal crashes than a passenger of a private vehicle. This is because motorcycle riders are less protected from the dangers on the road in comparison with a passenger of a private car. Motorcycle riders are also at risk of sustaining fatal injuries that could lead to paralysis and death.

All riders are required by law (in most states) to wear a helmet and are encouraged to dress appropriately when riding their motorcycles. It is proven that helmets are 37% effective in preventing motorcycle deaths. Distracted driving, speeding, drunk driving, reckless driving, bad weather, wrong-way driving, and failure to observe traffic laws are just some of the common reasons motorcycle accidents occur.

When facing cases like this, it’s vital to have an experienced Los Angeles personal injury attorney specializing in motorcycle accidents to conduct an independent probe. Attorneys can utilize their resources to re-interview important witnesses, review relevant surveillance footage from the scene, and obtain phone and texting records of the liable party.
