Motorcycle Accidents in Colorado
Motorcycle collisions, especially those involving ejections, are among the most dangerous types of roadway incidents. Saturday’s crash near Dunkirk St and E 60th Ave illustrates just how vulnerable riders are—even when traveling at legal speeds or wearing helmets.
Colorado consistently ranks high in motorcycle fatalities relative to its population, largely due to a mix of scenic open roads and rapidly expanding urban traffic. Intersections like Dunkirk and 60th, where visibility can be hindered by suburban development or high traffic volume, are particularly hazardous for motorcyclists.
In many cases, motorcyclists are struck by drivers who fail to yield or misjudge their speed and distance. Ejection often occurs when a bike comes to a sudden stop while the rider’s body continues forward, leading to potentially life-threatening injuries like spinal damage, head trauma, or internal bleeding.
Even when victims remain conscious, post-ejection complications can emerge later, underscoring the importance of thorough medical evaluation. Emergency personnel are trained to assess hidden trauma and manage shock responses in the critical moments after impact.
Motorcycle accidents also carry emotional and financial burdens, from long recovery periods to costly repairs or insurance disputes. Riders face an uphill battle in many cases—not only in healing but in establishing liability and accessing proper compensation.
