Thoughts on Bicyclist Accidents

Bicyclists on the roadways must be protected. Their smaller size and weight make them more vulnerable than fellow motorists in moving traffic. Since they have less protection in case of impact, motorists, like large trucks, must practice extreme vigilance in places where cyclists may ride.

When an accident like this one causes serious injuries, trained professionals should conduct an independent investigation to determine the degree of wrongdoing. Trucks can sometimes avoid accidents but are speeding, distracted, or fatigued, causing their reaction time to slow. When large trucks practice negligent actions that result in serious injuries or deaths, the truck driver and their employer may be held accountable for the pain and suffering they have caused.

We cannot draw any conclusions on why this accident happened, but time will reveal all the factors and wrongdoings that led to this tragic incident.
