The Details of the Officer-Involved Motorcycle Crash
Very limited information is available. The police say that the motorcycle officer collided with an SUV. This happened on the 1900 block of West Erie Avenue in the Tioga section of Philadelphia. It is not clear how fast either vehicle was operating, but the officer sustained non-life-threatening injuries. That officer was rushed to Temple University Hospital for care.
Why Motorcycle Accidents Happen So Often
Motorcycle accidents often result from distraction and failure to yield the right of way. Drivers often fail to notice the motorcycle or, in some cases, may not gauge the rider's speed. In some situations, drivers cause these accidents because they fail to know how to share the road with bikes.
To uncover details, police will gather camera footage, speak with all witnesses, and use accident reconstruction tools to better understand what occurred. Many times, accidents like this are fully preventable, with proper care and attention to the roadway.
Why Hiring a Lawyer Is So Important
While this case involved a motorcycle officer, most motorcycle accidents do not, and as a result, unfair stigma is often applicable. For victims with serious injuries, the best course of action is to hire legal support.
