How Did This Accident Occur?
At first glance, this crash seems to be an example of why we’re always warned to watch out for motorcycles. They are smaller than other vehicles on the road, and offer less protection for their riders. But it isn’t clear at this point how this crash happened.
Was the Honda driver fatigued or distracted? Did the motorcycle have working taillights? Did the Honda have an issue with its brakes or steering mechanism? Authorities should be able to answer these questions by the time they complete their investigation into this crash.
Physical evidence, witness statements, data from the vehicles and any available video footage should help reconstruct the accident. Cell phone records could show what each driver was doing at the time of the crash. An outside expert likely will be needed if investigators suspect a mechanical issue contributed to this crash because in my experience most law enforcement agencies don’t have the time or training to conduct an in-depth examination of these vehicles.
A thorough investigation like this will provide the answers the injured motorcyclist and his family deserve after this crash.
