Why Bicycle Accidents at Intersections Can Cause Injuries
Bicycle accidents at intersections can be serious because riders have limited protection when they are near cars and trucks. A bicyclist may be hit while crossing, turning, or traveling through the same space as nearby vehicles. Even a lower-speed collision can cause pain in the head, arms, legs, shoulders, or back.
Intersections can also create short reaction times. Drivers may be watching traffic signals, other vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists all at once. Medical teams may check for fractures, road rash, head trauma, or hidden injuries after a bicycle-related roadway emergency. Witness statements and nearby cameras may also help explain what happened before the rider was hurt.
