Vehicle Fails to Yield the Right of Way
Rescue teams were called to the location of the accident near the intersection of Route 30 and South Odessa Avenue at about 8:46 pm. When they arrived, they found the motorcycle rider was ejected from the force of the collision. The rider was pronounced dead at the scene.
The initial investigation shows the driver of the car pulled out of the driveway without yielding the right of way to the motorcycle rider, who was traveling west. That information comes after police closed down the roadway for several hours to investigate.
A Common Reason for Motorcycle Accidents
It is fairly common for motorcycle riders to face these types of threats. It often occurs at intersections where drivers fail to yield the right of way to a rider traveling straight, even when the car is turning. Sometimes the driver just fails to see the rider. Other times, the accident happens when the driver is distracted.
