Motorcycle Accidents on Central California Highways Present Serious Risks
Crashes involving motorcycles, such as the one on Hwy 101 near Hwy 129, often result in serious injuries due to the vulnerability of riders. With minimal protection compared to drivers of enclosed vehicles, motorcyclists face heightened risks—especially when traveling along busy, high-speed corridors like Hwy 101.
In San Benito County and the surrounding region, motorcycle crashes have seen a notable increase in recent years. According to state data, many of these incidents occur at highway intersections or merge points, where visibility, speed changes, and lane positioning can create dangerous conditions for riders.
Motorcyclists are frequently injured in situations where other drivers fail to yield, misjudge distance, or make sudden lane changes without checking blind spots. Even minor collisions can result in fractures, head trauma, or road rash for the rider.
Following a crash, it is crucial for injured motorcyclists to seek immediate medical care and obtain official documentation of the incident. Insurance claims, medical costs, and legal considerations can quickly become overwhelming without proper records and guidance.
