Auto Accident Injures Vallejo Motorcyclist

Local authorities reported a serious collision in Vallejo on Tuesday, September 18, 2018. According to the Vallejo Police Department (VPD), the accident involved a motorcycle and a passenger vehicle. The crash reportedly occurred in the afternoon on a major roadway in a commercial area within Vallejo. Officers said the crash left the man riding a motorcycle seriously injured. However, medical officials indicated that the man’s injuries were not life-threatening. VPD Lt. Herman Robinson reported that the accident is still under official investigation. Updates on the motorcyclist’s condition have not yet been reported by hospital staff.

Crash Details

VPD reports state that the collision occurred along the 400 block of Redwood Street. The motorcyclist had been driving east along the roadway on a red-colored Kawasaki bike. At the same time, a small Honda Civic was exiting the parking lot of the Vallejo Plaza Shopping Center. As the vehicle attempted to make a left turn across Redwood Street to enter westbound lanes, it entered the path of the oncoming Kawasaki.

Reports stated that the motorcyclist had insufficient time to stop his bike to avoid a crash. Because there was not enough time to perform a stop, the motorcyclist laid his bike down and scraped along the road so that his bike’s bottom side crashed into the front driver’s panel of the Honda.

Injuries

VPD sent responders to the accident site immediately after being notified of the crash. Responders found the motorcyclist with a seriously injured leg and transported him to a nearby hospital so that he could receive proper medical care. The driver of the Honda, identified only as a 24-year-old Vallejo resident, did not suffer any injuries during the incident.

Investigation

As the investigation into the accident continues, officers have not said what factors they believe caused the crash. Factors often involved in crashes like this include medical issues, driving while using a cell phone, reckless driving, defective motorcycle or car parts, dangerous turning maneuvers, and more.

Dealing with an Injury

Dealing with the effects of an accident injury is often hard to do. People in auto accidents are frequently left with injuries that make everyday daily tasks much more difficult. Those recovering from a crash can have trouble doing dishes, cleaning their house, taking their kids to and from school, and more. This is one of the reasons that injured parties must be able to claim compensation for their losses. If you want to know more about seeking payment for accident trauma, talk to a Vallejo personal injury lawyer as soon as you can.
