Motorcycle Accidents and Injury Risks in Connecticut
Motorcycle crashes, such as the one that occurred Wednesday in Montville, often result in severe or life-threatening injuries due to the lack of external protection for riders. Even seemingly routine accidents can cause serious outcomes, including fractures, head trauma, and internal injuries.
Connecticut’s winding rural roads—like Old Colchester Rd—can pose unique dangers for motorcyclists. Changes in elevation, limited visibility, sharp curves, and inconsistent pavement all contribute to an increased crash risk. These factors, coupled with higher speeds and limited shoulder space, make rider vigilance and defensive driving essential.
Events like this reinforce the critical need for continued motorcycle safety education, improved roadway maintenance, and awareness from both riders and other drivers sharing the road. Even a moment of inattention or miscalculation can have devastating consequences.
