The Dangers Motorcyclists Face in Crashes With Larger Vehicles
Motorcyclists have little physical protection during a collision, while delivery vans are much larger and heavier than motorcycles. That difference can expose riders to substantial impact forces.
A rider may also be thrown from the motorcycle and suffer a second impact with the roadway or another object. Head, chest, spinal, and limb injuries can occur in these crashes.
Vehicle speed, impact angle, rider position, traffic conditions, and protective equipment can all influence injury severity. When a rider is found unconscious, emergency crews may quickly request advanced medical transport so the person can reach trauma care as soon as possible.
