Motorcyclist Seriously Injured in Accident with Semi-truck in Downtown Fargo, North Dakota

Fargo, ND –  A motorcyclist was seriously injured in a collision with a semi-truck Wednesday evening in downtown Fargo. The crash occurred at the intersection of 10th Street North and 2nd Avenue North.

Authorities report that the semi-truck was traveling northbound on 10th Street when the trucker attempted to turn left from the right lane onto 2nd Avenue.

A motorcycle heading north in the left lane of 10th Street collided with the semi-trailer during the turn.

The motorcyclist sustained serious injuries and was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment.

Semi-truck crashes need to be investigated

Following a large truck crash, those injured are left to pick up the pieces while trying to understand why. Authorities and other professionals should assist those harmed by finding answers when possible.

In truck accidents, two sources often provide the most information: the truck driver and the trucking company. The truck driver may be the only witness to the crash. Unfortunately, in our experience, the involved driver will often be guarded, especially when speaking to the police. Legal mechanisms, such as depositions, can help find the truth. These are available during the litigation process.

The trucking company also provides valuable information. The trucking company will know what occurred in the hours and days leading up to the crash. Information about the driver’s training, how many hours the driver had driven, dash cam footage of key moments, and data from the truck showing speed, braking, and steering. All this information can be used to tell the true story and ensure all wrongdoing is accounted for.

Uncovering the truth following a commercial truck crash provides the injured and their family with answers and protects future motorists from dangerous companies and drivers. We hope those affected here receive the professional help they need to find answers and closure during this difficult healing time.
