Motorcycle Accidents in Phoenix, Arizona
Motorcycle crashes, such as the one that occurred Wednesday near 35th St and Thomas Rd, often result in serious or life-altering injuries due to the lack of protection surrounding the rider. Even when wearing helmets and gear, motorcyclists are vulnerable to impact-related trauma including fractures, head injuries, and internal damage.
Intersections like Thomas Rd and 35th St are common sites for vehicle-motorcycle collisions due to traffic congestion, turning vehicles, and limited visibility. Most motorcycle-involved crashes occur because drivers fail to yield, misjudge the speed of the rider, or do not see the motorcycle at all until it’s too late.
Phoenix continues to report a high number of motorcycle crashes each year, particularly in heavily trafficked corridors. Public awareness campaigns and safety initiatives have aimed to reduce these numbers, but accidents persist—often with devastating consequences.
