Motorcycle Crash Risks on Eastern Shore Highways
Wednesday’s crash in Pocomoke is a reminder of the increased risk motorcyclists face on highways like Ocean Hwy (US-13), which serves as a major thoroughfare along Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Even with proper safety gear and riding experience, motorcyclists are far more vulnerable to injury during collisions due to their lack of protection compared to enclosed vehicles.
Ocean Hwy carries significant traffic volume, including commercial trucks, passenger vehicles, and local traffic—creating a dynamic and often unpredictable driving environment. Motorcycle crashes in these zones are often caused by sudden lane changes, speed discrepancies, or road surface hazards.
Even when a motorcyclist remains conscious after a crash, injuries such as fractures, abrasions, or internal trauma may require extended care. Prompt medical attention and continued observation are crucial for identifying complications that may not be immediately visible at the scene.
