California Motorcycle Accident Kills 5
Just an incredibly awful motorcycle accident in California today. CNN reports that five motorcyclists were killed when a car hit 12 motorcycles in California. Six other motorcyclists were seriously injured.
Police are looking for the at-fault driver who fled the scene. People do crazy things under pressure and we see more hit-and-run accident cases in our practice than I would hope to see. But can you imagine leaving the scene of an accident after causing that kind of destruction? Thankfully, one of the motorcyclists was able to call 911. I think the manhunt to find the driver - they have the make and model of the car - will be successful. Someone is going to notice that their friend, co-worker, whatever has this car and they have not seen it since the accident. There is certainly going to be plenty of physical evidence on that car.
The bikers are part of a motorcycle group that was celebrating its10th anniversary. Just an awful thing.
- Update on the search for the hit-and-run driver
- Fatal motorcycle accidents are on the decline
- Motorcycle helmet statistics (this accident killed 6 people but might have been worse if the motorcyclists had not been wearing helmets and driving the speed limit)
