Fatal St. Louis County Motorcycle Crash Leaves Many Questions
A motorcyclist was killed in a St. Louis County motorcycle accident after being thrown from his Harley Davidson recently. The 44-year-old man was killed in this single-vehicle accident on McDonnell Boulevard, near Lambert-St. Louis International Airport.
According to the Missouri Highway Patrol, the man was riding alone when his motorcycle ran off the side of McDonnell Boulevard near Harmon Lane, possibly because he lost control of the bike. The Harley struck a fence and the man was thrown off of his bike. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The specific cause of the accident is unknown.
Although the exact cause of this Missouri motorcycle crash is unknown, many similar accidents have occurred because motorcyclists lose control of their bikes when road conditions change, due to things such as debris, gravel on the road or potholes. Additionally, speed often plays a role in motorcycle crashes because not only is it easier to lose control while speeding, but also, it is more difficult to regain control when traveling faster.
Over a third of fatal motorcycle accidents every year are caused, at least in part, by speed.
