What Factors Are Reviewed in Fatal Bicycle Crashes?
Bicycle crashes involving vehicles can result in serious or fatal injuries due to the limited protection riders have. The difference in size and speed between a car and a bicycle often increases the severity of impact.
Investigators typically review the bicyclist’s route and how the vehicle approached the scene. Road layout, lighting, and traffic flow may also be examined.
On highways or rural roads, higher speeds can reduce reaction time. Even a brief delay in braking or steering may lead to a deadly outcome when a cyclist is involved.
