Providence, RI (August 14, 2025) – A man was seriously injured and rushed to the hospital on August 10 following a motorcycle crash in Providence. The crash occurred just after 6 p.m. in the area of Union Avenue and Pocasset Avenue, a busy intersection where traffic is common.

According to police reports, the motorcyclist attempted to pass a car on the left when the vehicle made a sudden left turn into a driveway, resulting in a collision. Witnesses at the scene reported that the motorcyclist was found unconscious but still breathing. He was quickly attended to by emergency responders and transported to a nearby hospital with a serious head injury.

Investigators later confirmed that the motorcyclist was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash, which is believed to have contributed to the severity of his injuries. The police also found a gun in the front pouch of the motorcycle, which has raised additional concerns and is part of the ongoing investigation into the circumstances surrounding the crash.

The driver of the car, who was not injured in the collision, remained on the scene and is cooperating with law enforcement as they investigate the incident.

Ongoing Investigation and Safety Concerns

The crash remains under investigation by local authorities as they piece together the details of the accident. Investigators are looking into factors such as speed, visibility, and the motorcyclist’s behavior prior to the crash.

This incident serves as a sobering reminder of the risks motorcyclists face when not wearing protective gear, such as helmets. While helmets are not required for all riders in every state, they have been shown to significantly reduce the risk of fatal and severe head injuries. It’s important for both motorcyclists and drivers to be aware of their surroundings and cautious when passing other vehicles, particularly at intersections where the potential for sudden movements or turns is high.

Motorcyclists, in particular, are urged to wear proper protective gear at all times, and all road users should exercise patience and courtesy when sharing the road to help prevent accidents like this one.
