Accident Report
June 6, 2026, two people were injured in a motorcycle versus car accident at approximately 3:45 p.m. along Business U.S. 287.
According to authorities, two people—a 23-year-old man and a 24-year-old woman—were traveling on a southwest bound BMW motorcycle on Dick Price Road at the Business U.S. Highway 287 intersection when the accident took place. Officials indicate that, for reasons yet to be confirmed, the motorcycle entered the intersection against a red light. It was consequently involved in a collision with the left side of a Subaru Legacy that had been traveling southeast on the highway.
Both people who had been on the motorcycle reportedly sustained serious injuries as a result of the collision. It does not appear that anyone else had been hurt. Additional details pertaining to this incident—including the identities of the victims—are not available at this point in time. The investigation is currently ongoing.
How Did This Accident Occur?
When it comes to motorcycle-involved accidents, many people are quick to cast all the blame on the person who had been driving the motorcycle without giving it much additional consideration, if any. Over the last thirty years in which I have been in this career, I have actually come to believe that motorcyclists get a bad rap. I have seen plenty of similar cases in which evidence of causes that went against the grain of stereotype ended up being uncovered through thorough investigation.
To be clear, I’m not insinuating that I have more information about this specific accident than is already available to the public. As far as I am aware, driver error remains on the table as a possible cause. However, I would like to suggest a hypothetical. What if, rather than driver error, the wreck was a result of something gone wrong with the motorcycle itself? Perhaps it entered the intersection at an unsafe time due to brake failure, for example? Or maybe it was having troubles with its throttle? I understand that these things are not very likely, but that doesn’t mean they are impossible.
Hopefully investigators—whether the authorities or a third party—get an in-depth vehicle inspection done on the motorcycle. That way any mechanical malfunctions or product defects that played a role in the wreck won’t be allowed to slip unnoticed through the cracks. After all, the people affected by this accident deserve more than the vague assumptions that often result from surface-level investigation.
