How Did This Accident Occur?
People tend to blame motorcycle riders for crashes like this, based on the stereotype that paints everyone on two wheels as a reckless daredevil. That stereotype is wholly inaccurate in my experience because motorcyclists tend to be more careful than other drivers because they know how vulnerable they are on the road.
I also know that motorcycle accidents need experienced investigators to sort out what happened, as the dynamics of these crashes are different than regular car accidents. Motorcycles are complex machines, making them especially prone to mechanical issues like brake issues or throttle failure, but post-crash inspections are not standard for more law enforcement agencies.
The injured rider and his family deserve to know as much as possible about this crash after a careful investigation, not some ill-formed conclusions that aren’t based on facts.
