Woman In Critical Condition After Motorized Scooter Crashed Into Car In Philadelphia’s Kensington Section

Around 2:30 a.m. Friday, a Toyota Corolla was making a U-turn from a parking space on the 1800 block of Allegheny Avenue after he cleared any oncoming traffic westbound while looking eastbound on Allegheny Avenue.

Police say it was at this time a motorized scooter traveling westbound on eastbound lanes struck the vehicle.

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.
