Frequently Asked Questions
What injuries are most common for cyclists hit by cars?
Cyclists struck by vehicles often suffer head injuries, broken bones, and road rash, even at low speeds, because they have little protection compared to someone inside a car.
What are the most common causes of car-bicycle collisions?
These crashes often happen when a driver fails to see a cyclist, misjudges their speed, turns across their path, or when a cyclist enters a roadway or driveway without being seen in time.
Where do most car-bicycle collisions happen?
Many occur at intersections and driveways, where a turning or crossing vehicle and a cyclist's path overlap, though they can also happen mid-block on residential streets.
What is "dooring" and why is it dangerous?
Dooring occurs when someone in a parked car opens a door into a cyclist's path, leaving the cyclist no time to react. It can cause serious falls or force a cyclist into traffic.
What to Do After a Bicycle Accident in Oklahoma City, OK
Anyone involved in or who witnesses a bicycle crash should call 911 right away so police and paramedics can respond. Even if a child or adult seems only shaken up, a medical check is worth getting, since injuries like concussions or internal bruising aren't always obvious right after impact.
It helps to obtain the names and contact information of the driver and any witnesses, and to ensure a police report is filed documenting what happened. Parents of young cyclists in Oklahoma City may also want to review basic bike safety with their kids, including riding with traffic, using crosswalks, and staying visible, as a precaution.
