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.

This Highway is very
This Highway is very dangerous with many hidden driveways, large trucks exceeding the speed limit and summer visitors driving way too fast. There are limited guardrails, speed limit is not consistant and variable along this scenic by-way. If the police department really wanted to "make bank", they would place speed patrols, specifically along the long straight sections and near Gozzer Ranch, Scout Camp and the Christian Fellowship Camp.
