Motorcyclist in fatal DUI-related crash in Hurricane

HURRICANE, Utah (AP) - Hurricane police have released the name of a motorcyclist struck and killed by a driver allegedly under the influence of alcohol. Sgt. Brandon Buell identified 64-year-old Charles Vick on Saturday as the crash victim.

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.
