Motorcycle crashes head on into fire truck

Looks like the bike rider took the turn way too wide and directly into the fire truck. He is lucky to be alive!

Motorcycle accidents almost always result in injuries, extensive medical bills, and treatments. This in turn can lead to lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional turmoil, and much more. Nationwide, more than 5,000 riders are killed and about 100,000 are injured each year in motorcycle accidents.  Three-quarters of motorcycle accidents involve another vehicle and more than two-thirds of those are the fault of the other driver.

Dainese’s D-Tec system is the first airbag from a major protective bike clothing manufacturer, although small companies have released jackets with cruder activation systems.

Multiple Motorcycle Accident

Motorcycle Accident

Although it’s hard to tell exactly what happened. One person has said that a car driver not paying attention to the slow down on the highway rammed into a few bikers at the back of the pack and that impact sent the other motorcycle riders into the next group of writers creating a ping-pong effect, and what looks like multiple injuries.

This accident makes one wonder how it could’ve happened. After all, it’s a clear day and a straight road.
