Why Bicycle vs. Vehicle Crashes Often Lead to Injuries
Collisions involving bicycles and motor vehicles can be especially dangerous because cyclists have little physical protection. Even at lower speeds, the force of impact can result in injuries to the head, arms, or legs.
Drivers may not always notice bicyclists right away, particularly in areas with turning traffic, parked vehicles, or limited visibility. Intersections and residential roadways are common locations for these types of crashes.
After a bicycle crash, medical evaluations are often important even when injuries appear minor at first. Symptoms can develop later, especially if a rider experiences a sudden impact or is thrown from the bicycle.
