Missouri Motorcycle Accident Injures 66 Year Old Man
A recent Missouri motorcycle accident injured a 66-year-old Nixa man. A truck driver allegedly caused this two-vehicle motorcycle crash, which occurred in Stone County. Missouri Highway Patrol reports allege a Chevrolet truck pulled out of a driveway, directly into the path of a Suzuki motorcycle. The 66-year-old motorcyclist was unable to avoid the large truck that pulled in front of him and struck the front of the Chevrolet.
The motorcyclist, of Nixa, MO, was thrown from his motorcycle. He suffered motorcycle accident injuries in Missouri and was transported to Cox Medical Center-South in Springfield, Missouri for treatment. The 17-year-old driver of the Chevrolet truck was not injured in this Missouri accident. The accident occurred on AA Highway, 10 miles north of Galena.
Unfortunately, motorcycle accidents like this one are relatively common. Statistics indicate that over 7 million motorcyclists are on roads nationwide. With the number of motorcyclists on the road growing, motorcycle accident statistics have also increased in number.
In sum, statistics show that motorcyclists are 37 times more likely to be killed in an accident than passengers in a car, and motorcyclists are 8 times more likely to be injured in a crash than a passenger in a car. Additionally, most of the motorcyclists killed and injured in crashes are not at fault for the motorcycle accident.
