Witnesses Say Motorcyclist Tried To Pass Church Bus Before FatalAccident

Authorities say a motorcyclist was killed and his passenger is fighting for her life after the two crashed while apparently trying to pass a church bus in Oakland County. Witnesses told police the motorcycle tried to pass a church bus and turn in front of it '€” when the driver lost control and crashed into a large boulder on the side of the road. The church bus, which had kids onboard, was not involved in the accident. A 44-year-old woman who was riding on the back of the motorcycle was taken to the hospital in critical condition. Both the driver and his passenger were ejected from the motorcycle.
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.
