Crash Involving School Bus vs. Motorcycle in Tallahassee

Wednesday afternoon, just after 3:30 p.m., emergency crews responded to a traffic crash involving a motorcyclist and a school bus. The crash occurred at the intersection of W Tharpe Street and Ocala Road, near Godby High School. A Leon County School bus was involved in the crash. LCS confirms that 15 students from Astoria Park Elementary School were on the bus at the time, but there were no reported injuries on the bus.
Since motorcycle crashes often end in serious injuries, victims need immediate help

Motorcycle accidents are more likely to end in serious injuries or death for the motorcyclist, since the rider is not protected from the force of a collision. When a motorcycle accident happens, the injured rider needs immediate, appropriate medical care, the accident needs to be investigated, and the insurance companies need to be informed.

When a motorcycle crash is caused by negligence, additional steps need to be taken to protect the legal rights of the injured motorcyclist or the family members of someone killed in a motorcycle crash. Go here to learn more about motorcycle accidents and claims.
