Motorcyclists: The Most Vulnerable on the Road
Motorcycles offer minimal physical protection, especially in head-on collisions. According to the NHTSA, motorcyclists are 28 times more likely to die in traffic accidents than passenger vehicle occupants.
Poorly marked intersections, unsafe turns, and inattentive drivers are common causes of deadly crashes like this one.
