Motorcycle crashes and rider injuries

A motorcycle offers a rider very little protection in a crash. There is no steel frame, seat belt, or airbag between the rider and the road, so the rider's body often absorbs much of the force of the impact. On a busy beachfront road like A1A, motorcycles share the lanes with cars, bicycles, and people crossing to the beach. Investigators typically look at road conditions, lighting, the position of each vehicle, speed, and whether any other vehicle turned or changed lanes into the rider's path.

Thoughts are with the rider and the rider's loved ones.
