What Should Drivers Know About Motorcycle Crashes on Interstates?
Motorcycles can be harder to see than larger vehicles, particularly when traffic is moving quickly or several vehicles are traveling close together. A sudden lane change, merging maneuver, or change in traffic flow can increase the risk of a collision.
After a motorcycle crash, information such as vehicle positions, roadway markings, damage patterns, traffic conditions, and available video may help establish what happened. Investigators may also examine whether each vehicle remained within its lane and how the vehicles were moving before impact. Serious crashes can also lead to temporary lane closures while injured people receive care and the roadway is cleared.
