[07-09-2020] Stanislaus County, CA – One Person Hurt After a Motorcycle Crash in Modesto

A motorist sustained significant injuries after his motorcycle collided with a big rig truck at the Modesto intersection on Thursday morning, July 9th.

According to the initial reports from local authorities, the crash transpired at approximately 11:10 a.m. The victim was riding his motorcycle at the 9th Street and Sonora Avenue when a big rig truck struck his vehicle for unknown reasons.

The driver of the big rig remained at the scene and cooperated with the local authorities. The motorcyclist sustained severe injuries and was immediately taken to a nearby hospital to receive treatment.

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 than 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 Stanislaus 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.
