Bicycle Collisions in Sacramento County
Intersections like Marconi Ave and Watt Ave are known for their high traffic volumes and complex signal patterns—conditions that can be especially dangerous for bicyclists. As Sacramento continues to encourage cycling as an alternative mode of transportation, the risks faced by riders in shared traffic spaces remain high.
Bicycle accidents involving motor vehicles often result in serious injuries due to the lack of protection for cyclists. Common injuries include fractures, head trauma, and soft tissue damage—all of which can require extensive medical care and rehabilitation. Victims also face emotional distress and financial burdens related to lost work time and mounting medical bills.
Improved infrastructure, like dedicated bike lanes and clearer signage, can reduce risk—but when a crash does happen, it’s essential that victims receive timely support.
