Why Motorcycle and Semi-Truck Crashes Can Be Especially Severe
Collisions involving motorcycles and large commercial trucks usually result in serious outcomes because of the significant size and weight difference between the vehicles. Riders have far less protection than occupants of passenger vehicles, making them more vulnerable during a collision.
Intersections can present added risks, particularly where traffic from multiple directions meets and visibility may be limited. Safe following distances, careful lane positioning, and checking for approaching motorcycles before turning or changing lanes can help reduce the chance of these crashes. After a serious roadway collision, emergency crews may need additional time to safely free trapped occupants and clear the roadway before traffic can return to normal.
