One person critically injured in Butler County motorcycle crash
Butler County Sheriff’s Lt. T. Gurley said a man in his mid 40s on a motorcycle who was following a farm tractor pulling a bailer tried to pass the bailer on the left. As the tractor and bailer began to make a left-hand turn to go southbound on Indianola Rd., the motorcycle clipped the bailer and the motorcycle driver lost control.
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.
