The widespread popularity of motorcycles often brings risks to the drivers and passengers. More motorcycles on the road means more chances of occurrence of accidents. Accordingly, speeding is one of the major contributors of accident based on NHTSA.
A motorcycle injury accident in Phoenix occurred on the I-17 freeway wherein two people suffered injuries after their motorcycle crashed.
According to the Phoenix Fire Department, the accident happened at around 9:20 in the evening. The occupants were a 53-year old man and a 47-year-old woman. They suffered serious injuries after falling off the motorcycle on Interstate 17. The responders immediately rushed them to the nearest hospital.
The two lanes of the freeway were temporarily blocked as crews worked to clear the roadway.
It is still unknown at this very moment what caused the accident.
Risks are everywhere in the road, and not just for motorcycle riders but also to all road users. Master your skills in driving motorcycle, keep your eyes on the road all the time and be nice to other road users. Aside from that, the best way to prevent fatal injuries from motorcycle accidents is the usage of helmet. In Arizona, you have the option on whether to wear a helmet or not. You cannot be arrested if you are not wearing a helmet. However based on NHTSA, helmets are 37% effective for drivers and 41% effective for motorcycle passengers. It also has a 50% chance of decreasing the severity of injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident.
