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.

Hi Andrea, I'm so sorry for
Hi Andrea, I'm so sorry for the loss of your brother in this awful crash. If you can get a copy of the police collision report for this accident, that will give you some information, like the name and insurance company of all drivers involved, and often will give a description of how the crash occurred. Be aware that sometimes the collision report contains inaccuracies, since it is based on the perceptions of the responding law enforcement officers. You will need to contact whichever law enforcement agency would have responded to the crash. In this case since the crash happened in the county, try contacting the state patrol since the media report states that state troopers responded to the crash.
If you find you have legal questions about the crash once you see the police collision report, consider calling our partner attorney Larry Perry. He's an incredibly effective attorney and can answer your questions.
Again, I'm so sorry for your loss.
