Wife dies, husband critically hurt in Summit County motorcycle crash

A woman died and her husband was seriously hurt Sunday after being thrown from their motorcycle in a Summit County Crash. The Utah Highway Patrol has not yet identified either of them. The couple were riding a motorcycle east on Interstate 80 when a car hit them near mile post 185, a mile east of Castle Rock, according to the UHP. The crash occurred about 11:15 a.m. The motorcycle went down and the man and woman were thrown from it. The woman died at the scene; a helicopter took the man to the hospital, according to UHP. Both of them were wearing helmets.
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.
