Motorcycle Accidents in Maine

Crashes involving motorcycles, like Friday’s collision at Canal and Cedar Streets, often result in serious injuries even at lower speeds. Unlike occupants of enclosed vehicles, motorcyclists have minimal physical protection during a collision, making them more vulnerable to trauma, including broken bones, head injuries, and internal harm.

Canal and Cedar Streets intersect near a busy part of Lewiston with frequent traffic and limited visibility due to parked cars and turning vehicles. Intersections are especially hazardous for motorcycles, which may be overlooked by drivers making quick decisions.

Maine traffic officials continue to stress the importance of checking blind spots and yielding properly, particularly when turning across traffic lanes or merging. Riders are also encouraged to wear protective gear and maintain visibility through headlamps and reflective clothing.
