Motorcycle Accidents in Glendale: Heightened Risk at Major Intersections
Intersections like N 75th Ave and W Maryland Ave are common locations for motorcycle crashes in Glendale due to the mix of fast-moving traffic and limited visibility at turns or lane changes. According to the Arizona Department of Transportation, over 2,000 motorcycle crashes occurred statewide in 2023, with a majority resulting in injuries.
Motorcyclists face greater risks in any collision due to the lack of external protection. Even low-speed crashes can lead to serious injuries such as fractures, head trauma, and road rash. Drivers are reminded to double-check for motorcycles before turning or changing lanes and to always give riders ample space on the roadway.
Motorcycle accident victims should seek immediate medical evaluation and legal guidance to protect their rights and secure compensation for treatment, recovery, and property damage. It is also essential to document the incident fully and speak with witnesses or responding officers if possible.
