St. Louis Motorcycle Accident Attorney: Motorcycle Crash Near Desoto, Missouri Kills One and Seriously Injures Another
On Sunday, May 29, 2011, a man was killed as a result of a motorcycle accident in Jefferson County, Missouri, according to ksdk.com. Police stated that the victim was traveling on Route E close to Belleville Lane when his motorcycle went off the road, careening into a tree and a barbed wire fence before coming to rest. He died at the scene but his female passenger survived and was taken to a St. Louis hospital with serious injuries.
Approximate location of the accident:
It is not exactly clear why, but rural roads like this one are of particular danger to motorcycles. These roads are more likely to have poor surfaces and, since they generally have less traffic, rural roads encourage motorcyclists to drive faster. Regardless of the exact cause, the state of Missouri noted in 2009 that rural roads in Missouri are the location of more than 60% of motorcycle fatalities though they account for less than 50% of all motorcycle accidents in the state.
