Frequently Asked Questions
What injuries are most common for cyclists hit by vehicles?
Cyclists struck by cars frequently suffer fractures, road rash, head injuries, and trauma to the legs or hips, depending on the point of impact and whether they are thrown from the bike.
What usually causes car-bicycle collisions?
These crashes commonly result from a driver failing to see a cyclist, unsafe passing distances, turning vehicles crossing a rider's path, or a cyclist being struck from behind on a shared roadway.
Where do most car-bicycle crashes happen?
Many occur at intersections or driveways where a turning or crossing vehicle meets a cyclist, though crashes also happen on rural roads and highway shoulders where visibility and space are limited.

Dooring happens when someone in a parked car opens a door into the path of a passing cyclist, usually giving the rider little time to react or swerve away from traffic.
