Boone County Motorcycle Accident Injures Motorcyclist
A Missouri motorcycle crash in Boone County injured a 24-year-old motorcyclist. According to authorities the motorcyclist, who is from Columbia, Missouri, was thrown from his BMW motorcycle after he hit a mailbox on Route NN. Allegedly the man failed to negotiate a curve because he was speeding and skidded off the right side of the road.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol said the motorcyclist was driving too fast, and the speed coupled with the impact of hitting the mailbox threw the motorcyclist off of his bike. He was immediately transported to University Hospital for medical treatment.
Speeding often causes or contributes to motorcycle accidents. Speed also may increase the severity of injuries resulting in motorcycle traffic crashes. According to the Missouri Department of Transportation, 80 percent of Missouri motorcycle crashes result in injury or death. Additionally, in 99 percent of fatal Missouri motorcycle crashes, the motorcyclist is killed. Reduced speeds can greatly reduce the likelihood of these motorcycle accidents and injuries.
