Intersection Accidents and Right of Way
It is very common for motorcycle accidents to occur at intersections. Drivers may not notice the smaller-sized motorcycle moving through the intersection and may turn into the path of the rider. Other times, the motorcycle rider may not have yielded the right-of-way to the other driver. Police will examine all factors in this case to determine the underlying cause. That may have included factors such as fatigue, distraction, or speeding, for example.
