The police have not released information about the driver that struck the man or if he will get charged with an offense. The investigation into the crash remains ongoing.
Bicyclists are quite vulnerable when on the roadway, and a lot of factors contribute to severe crashes. Some of the factors that lead to accidents include vehicles turning into the path of the motorcyclists without giving them the right of way.
Others are drivers failing to see the cyclist when turning at an intersection or changing lanes without adequately taking note of other road users. Motorists, opening doors without paying attention to an oncoming cyclist and bad roads also contribute.
Road rash and soft tissue injuries could leave a bicycle rider on the roadway. Victims of bicycle accidents who survive, or their representative when there’s death can bring a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit against the driver.
Those involved in this kind of accident should contact a bicycle accident attorney for legal advice and representation.
