How Do Hit-and-Run Crashes Affect Injured Road Users?
Hit-and-run crashes can create additional challenges when an injured person is left at the scene without the other driver’s information. A fleeing vehicle may also leave investigators with fewer immediate details about how the collision occurred. For people involved in a crash, getting medical attention and moving to a safe location when possible are important priorities.
Motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable when they are involved in collisions with larger vehicles. Wearing a properly fitted helmet and protective riding gear can help reduce the severity of some injuries. Staying visible and maintaining awareness of surrounding traffic can also help riders respond to changing conditions.
Freeway crashes involving motorcycles can create additional hazards because traffic continues moving at high speeds around the incident. Drivers approaching a crash should slow down gradually and watch for emergency vehicles, disabled vehicles, and debris. Giving responders and injured road users plenty of space can help prevent a secondary collision.
