Why Can Morning Motorcycle Crashes Cause Serious Injuries?
Motorcyclists have little physical protection compared with occupants of enclosed vehicles, leaving riders exposed to direct impact forces.
A rider may also be thrown from the motorcycle and strike the roadway or another object, creating a second source of injury. Even crashes that occur during daylight hours can lead to significant trauma.
Travel speed, roadway conditions, impact angle, protective gear, and rider position can all affect injury severity. Motorcycle crashes may require a rapid emergency response because injuries can be serious even when early reports provide few details.
