Crashes between motorcycles and larger vehicles, such as rear-end impacts, often result in injuries for the rider due to limited physical protection. Even at lower speeds, the sudden force of impact can cause significant harm. Intersections in busy downtown areas can increase risks for motorcyclists, with frequent stops, turning traffic, and visibility challenges.
In Wisconsin, motorcycle crashes are often linked to following too closely, sudden braking, or driver inattention. Maintaining safe distances and staying alert to traffic flow changes are crucial for both riders and drivers to prevent such incidents.
