1 dead, 1 injured after motorcycle crash along I-10 near LaPlace

A 66-year-old Slidell motorcyclist died after another motorcycle collided with his own on Interstate 10 near LaPlace Friday night (Sep. 18), Louisiana State Police said. Sevin died at the scene, while Kline was sent to Our Lady of the Lake Hospital in Baton Rouge with serious injuries, police said. Though police do not believe the drivers were impaired, they performed toxicology tests on Sevin and took blood from Kline. The contact caused the Harley to veer to the left side of the road, and the Cam Am to veer to the right. The other driver, a 62-year-old Pearl River man, was injured.
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.
