Authorities continue reviewing available evidence to determine how the crash happened. We hope the injured rider receives care and recovers fully.
The Dangers of Motorcycle Collisions With Transit Vehicles
Buses are much larger and heavier than motorcycles, which can subject a rider to substantial force on impact. Motorcyclists also lack the enclosed frame, seat belts, and airbags that protect people inside larger vehicles.
A rider may be thrown onto the pavement or against another object after impact. The head, chest, spine, arms, and legs can all be affected within seconds.
Travel speed, contact angle, helmet use, vehicle size, and roadway design can influence injury severity. Medical evaluations may identify fractures, a concussion, or internal trauma that is not immediately noticeable.
