What Happens When a Motorcycle and Semi-Truck Are Involved in a Collision?
Collisions involving motorcycles and large commercial trucks can produce serious injuries because of the major difference in vehicle size and weight. Motorcyclists have less physical protection than people inside passenger vehicles.
Investigators may review vehicle positions, roadway conditions, traffic signals, and available photographs when determining how a collision occurred. They may also examine damage to the motorcycle and truck for evidence about the sequence of events.
Medical records can provide information about the type and severity of injuries reported after a motorcycle collision. Witness accounts and available video footage may also help establish what happened before and during the wreck.
Commercial trucks can have large blind spots, while motorcycles can be difficult to see because of their smaller size. Safe driving requires both vehicle types to maintain awareness of nearby traffic and allow adequate space when changing lanes or turning.
