Local authorities are currently investigating the crash further. Witnesses that can provide additional information about the collision are urged to contact Officer Mack at 225-4200.

Motorcycle riders are more vulnerable to the dangers on the roadway compared to passengers in private vehicles. Unlike passengers in private cars, motorcycle riders are not protected by seatbelts and airbags.

According to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) statistics, 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.

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.
