Why Can Motorcycle Crashes Cause Serious Injuries?
Motorcyclists have less physical protection than people traveling inside passenger vehicles. A collision can throw a rider from the motorcycle or cause direct contact with another vehicle or the roadway.
Several factors can affect injury severity, including vehicle speed, impact location, road conditions, and whether the rider was wearing protective equipment. Helmets and other motorcycle gear can provide additional protection during a crash.
Drivers can help reduce motorcycle crashes by checking carefully before changing lanes or turning. Leaving enough space between vehicles can also give drivers more time to react to motorcycles in traffic.
