The Boulder Daily Camera reports on a tragic motorcycle accident just north of Longmont. Two riders on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle were thrown from the bike in a single-vehicle accident that had no apparent witnesses. Neither rider was wearing a helmet, and both died at the scene. According to investigators, there was no other vehicle involved in the accident, and no cause has been released as to what caused the accident, although investigators believe that speed may have played a role. The accident is still under investigation.
Have you been seriously injured in a motorcycle accident? Contact a Boulder motorcycle accident lawyer immediately to discuss your options.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, over 4000 motorcyclists are killed in traffic accidents every year. Of course, motorcyclists have less protection in the event of an accident than occupants of cars, and are therefore more likely to be seriously injured in accidents. It may be important to note that, because Colorado does not have a universal motorcycle helmet law, riders above the age of 18 have the right to choose whether or not to wear a helmet. There have been many studies demonstrating that helmets can prevent many injuries and fatalities, but it is still a choice that Coloradans have the right to make.
