A 17-year-old teenager identified as Tristyn Shae Madole was killed in a motorcycle accident in Hesperia on Tuesday Afternoon, April 28th.

According to the initial reports from the San Bernandino County Sheriff’s Department, the accident occurred at around 2:51 p.m. in the 1400 block of Bear Valley Road.

The teenager was reportedly riding a 2015 Harley Davidson motorcycle driven by her father when it collided with several other vehicles on the roadway.

The victim’s father was airlifted to a trauma center due to the severity of his injuries.

Additional information about the crash is limited as of today.

Fatal Motorcycle Investigation Is Underway

The sheriff’s Major Accident Investigation Team is currently attempting to determine the cause of the accident through the official investigation.

According to the data from the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), motorcycle riders are 16 times more at risk of injury and 35 times more at risk of facing fatal crashes in comparison to 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 also encouraged to dress appropriately when riding their motorcycles. It is proven that helmets are 37% effective in preventing motorcycle deaths.

Some of the common factors why motorcycle accidents occur are distracted driving, speeding, drunk driving, reckless driving, bad weather, wrong-way driving, and failure to observe traffic laws.
