What Can Affect Injuries in a Bicycle and Vehicle Crash?
People riding bicycles have limited physical protection when they collide with a motor vehicle. The severity of injuries can depend on the vehicle’s speed, the point of impact, and whether the rider falls onto the roadway or another surface.
Road design can also affect how vehicles and bicycles interact. Investigators may review the location of the collision, vehicle and bicycle damage, roadway evidence, and witness accounts to better understand the sequence of events.
Injury symptoms may range from minor pain to more serious trauma. A medical evaluation can help determine the full extent of harm after a bicycle crash.
