Man Loses Control of Motorcycle, Strikes Second Bike
Two men in San Antonio, TX were injured after a motorcycle collision late Friday. According to the report on ksat.com, one man lost control of his motorcycle and fell off. The second rider was riding just behind the first and struck him with his bike. The first man suffered serious head injuries in the accident because he was not wearing a helmet. The second rider suffered cuts to his head as well. An investigation is currently ongoing to determine what factors, if any, played into this accident. In particular, police are investigating to determine if alcohol was a contributing factor to this accident.
This incident demonstrates one aspect of motorcycle riding that may not always be taken into account; riding in groups of two or more people. Although many motorcycle riders are often careful when riding alone or within a group, it is not always possible to take all the factors into account. This is especially true when riding in a group and it is difficult to see in front of you with many other riders in front. In many cases, one of the riders or another vehicle could suddenly stop and cause a serious accident. If any party involved in the accident is found to be speeding or under the influence of any substances, they could be held liable for the accident.
