Motorcycle crashes in Indiana often result in serious injuries due to the limited protection riders have compared to drivers in enclosed vehicles.

This area of Indianapolis includes several residential connectors and is frequently traveled by both passenger vehicles and motorcycles. Intersections like the one at East 22nd St can become especially hazardous when drivers fail to notice or yield to motorcyclists in time. Poor lighting or road conditions during evening hours may also contribute to such incidents.
Indiana safety officials regularly advise both riders and drivers to stay alert, use proper signaling, and share the road responsibly.
