Texas Man Dead in Motorcycle Accident

Brownsville, TX- Motorcyclist love nothing more than getting on their bikes and going for a ride. Thousands of Americans are avid motorcyclists despite the dangers they face on the roads. The National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration estimates that 78 percent of motorcycle accidents are head on collisions primarily caused by drivers of passenger vehicles, such is the case of a recent Texas accident that left one man dead.
On Saturday, August 23^rd, police responded to an accident involving a passenger car and motorcycle in a Houston neighborhood. When they arrived, according to the Observer, they found the lifeless body of a 61 year-old man.
Police initially believed the motorcyclist lost control, but, during the course of their investigation discovered a motorist cut the biker off.
According to the Observe, the driver of a Volkswagen Jetta failed to yield the right of way at stop sign. The Volkswagen struck and pickup truck and then struck the motorcycle. The 61 year-old motorcyclist, who has not been identified was pronounced dead on the scene.
Police have not charged the driver at this time.
Accidents like these happen far too often, leaving motorcyclists with catastrophic injuries and life-altering injuries. Head and spinal injuries are common, so are broken bones, and while these injuries can be somewhat minor resulting in minimal recovery times, too many motorcycle accidents result in debilitating injuries that require multiple surgeries, long recovery times, inability to work and diminished quality of life. Some motorcycle accident victims aren’t lucky enough to survive; motorcyclists are 35 times for likely to die in a traffic collision than a passenger vehicle motorist.
