Motorcycle Accidents in Delaware Require Targeted Safety Efforts
Crashes involving motorcycles—such as Monday’s incident in the Millsboro WaWa parking lot—can result in severe injuries even at relatively low speeds. Unlike car occupants, riders have little protection beyond their gear, making them particularly vulnerable in parking areas where visibility and sudden movements often contribute to collisions.
Delaware’s Route 113 corridor is a high-traffic area that frequently serves both commuter and commercial vehicles. Locations like retail centers near Laurel Rd are known for heavy vehicle flow, which can pose added risks for motorcyclists navigating tight lanes and sudden stops.
Even in non-highway settings, collisions involving motorcycles can cause traumatic outcomes. Emergency response teams often prioritize these calls due to the high likelihood of head, leg, or internal injuries—even when helmets are worn.
