Fatal Motorcycle Crash
I read a tragic story about a fatal motorcycle accident that took the life of a 48 year old woman, Helen Reeves. She was riding her bike when a motorist crossed the center lane of the roadway and struck her, killing her instantly. The driver appears to have been intoxicated and was arrested at the scene of the accident and taken to jail.
This is a tragedy that should have never happened. My thoughts go out to her family and friends. I only hope that the court system lays a heavy hand on the driver if the allegations prove to be true.
In my practice, I see instances like this way too often in my motorcycle accident cases. Although many in the public believe that bikers are at fault in most accidents, I have found the opposite to be true. It is most often negligent motorists who ignore the rights of bikers and other drivers and cause these catastrophic accidents. With Summer now here and bikers in mid-season form, I can only hope that drivers become more responsible so accidents like this one do not happen again.
