How Did This Accident Occur?
It might seem like running a stop sign or a light would be something authorities would easily be able to confirm. However, they might be considering the speed of the motorcycle as a possible factor here. To be clear, that’s always an important factor to consider in any crash where a vehicle hits someone that pulled out in front of them. My concern, though, is if authorities are looking for a reason to blame the motorcyclist unjustly.
While I can’t speak to any specifics on this particular motorcycle crashed, I’ve investigated many where it was clear authorities were letting negative bias affect their investigations. A lot of folks just see motorcyclists as reckless daredevils. This can lead them to overlook important details or connect dots that should connect simply because it fits their preconceived notion of how motorcyclists behave. I know from experience that most riders are safe drivers, and people cut them off and pull out in front of them all the time. That doesn’t mean I ignore the possibility of a rider making a mistake. It just means I focus on the evidence rather than working backwards from an unfair, hasty conclusion.
It’s possible authorities here are being careful to leave their opinions at the door and focus on gathering facts. It’s also possible getting a fair, just analysis of the facts will require independent investigators double checking what authorities have looked into. What’s important is that those affected by a crash like this follow up with investigators as early as possible so they know what path they need to take.
Are there any riders out there who have been unfairly blamed for something they couldn’t avoid? Tell me about it in the comments.
