When a motorcyclist is seriously injured after leaving the roadway, as happened on Superior Road, it’s easy to assume the rider simply lost control. But in my experience, these crashes are often more complicated than they first appear. To understand what truly caused the incident, we must ask the same three questions that guide every serious crash investigation: Did the authorities thoroughly investigate the crash? Has anyone considered whether a vehicle defect played a role? And has all the electronic data associated with the crash been collected and preserved?

A proper investigation into this type of crash should begin with a close examination of the scene. What were the lighting and road conditions like at 10:30 p.m.? Was the road surface clean and dry, or could debris, poor lighting or a sharp curve have contributed to the rider veering off course? It’s also essential to determine whether the motorcycle struck something in the roadway, attempted an evasive maneuver or experienced a sudden shift in handling. Thorough scene documentation and accident reconstruction are key to answering those questions, but these steps aren’t always taken unless someone insists on it, especially in single-vehicle crashes where no other parties are involved.

Equally important is the possibility that a mechanical or equipment failure contributed to the crash. The motorcycle involved is a 2012 Harley Davidson FLH, a touring model that’s complex and heavily reliant on proper maintenance. Issues with steering, brakes, tires or even the throttle or suspension can lead to sudden and uncontrollable handling changes. If, for example, the front brake locked up or the rear tire failed, the rider could easily lose control without warning. Identifying such failures requires a forensic inspection of the motorcycle: something that rarely happens unless the vehicle is preserved and specifically examined for defect-related causes.

Lastly, electronic data can provide vital insight into what the motorcycle was doing in the seconds leading up to the crash. While motorcycles generally record less data than passenger vehicles, some Harley Davidson models, particularly in the touring class, include diagnostic systems that may log performance issues, sensor errors or pre-crash conditions. This information, along with GPS data from navigation systems or apps, and any helmet or body-worn devices, could help clarify speed, location and rider actions. Without collecting and reviewing this data, crucial pieces of the puzzle may remain missing.

Crashes like this one don’t always come down to simple mistakes. When someone suffers serious injuries, we owe it to them to go beyond assumptions and pursue a full investigation: one that looks at the road, the machine and the data with equal scrutiny. Only then can we get the full picture of what went wrong and whether it could have been prevented.
