As Mesa bicycle accident attorneys, we are aware of the recurring problems in bicycle safety. With only limited protection, bicyclists are more likely susceptible to acquiring serious or even fatal injuries when involved in a bicycle crash.
In recent news, a 19-year-old man was in critical condition after his bicycle collided with a SUV in a Mesa bike accident which occurred Tuesday night, September 20, 2011. According to a report by ABC 15, the crash happened at about 7:30 p.m. along Guadalupe Road in Mesa, Arizona.
Initial investigations reveal that the SUV hit the bicyclists head on when the SUV veered into the bike lane hitting the victim and throwing him off 70 to 90 feet before hitting a light pole.
Mesa police are looking to find out if the woman driver of the SUV was under the influence of prescription drugs at the time of the Mesa bike accident.
Arizona Bicycle Laws
There are many different bicycle laws in Mesa and throughout the state, but one recently enacted law is that drivers of motor vehicles must maintain a distance of at least three feet from a bicyclist when overtaking and/or passing a bicycle (ARS 28-735).
