Bicycle crashes with motor vehicles can result in injuries because cyclists have limited protection during impacts. Intersections are common locations for these incidents because drivers and bicyclists may be moving through the same area while turning, crossing, or changing direction.
Investigators review roadway conditions, traffic signals, vehicle movements, and statements from witnesses to the crash. The position of the bicycle and vehicle, along with any damage or marks left behind, may also provide information about how the collision happened.
Safety factors such as visibility, traffic flow, and driver and cyclist awareness are commonly considered when reviewing these crashes. A detailed review can help establish the sequence of events leading up to the collision.
