[06-28-2020] San Diego, CA – Motorcyclist Injured After a Traffic Collision in San Marcos

A 23-year-old motorcyclist sustained severe injuries after a major traffic collision in San Marcos on Sunday evening, June 28th.

According to the initial reports from local authorities, the crash transpired at around 6:15 p.m. The motorcyclist was heading northbound in Fry’s Electronics store parking lot on South Bent Avenue when the rider suddenly crashed into a westbound Acura sedan for unknown reasons.

The rider was ejected from his motorcycle due to the severity of the impact. He sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries. The rider was immediately transported to a nearby hospital to receive treatment. The passengers in the Acura was uninjured. Intoxication is not considered a factor in the accident.

Additional information about the accident is limited at the moment.

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 San Diego 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.
