Riding a motorcycle has become increasingly popular and increasingly dangerous. Not only has the number of people who use motorcycles for transportation and pleasure gone up, but so have the number of distractions – with distracted driving a leading cause of car and motorcycle accidents. Further when accidents do occur, it is likely that they will be serious – including fatalities and other serious injuries such as traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries. In fact, statistics report that nearly 80% of all motorcycle accidents end with the driver being injured or killed.
Here despite the fact that the Kaneohe man wore a helmet, he was unable to recover from the injuries he sustained from the force of the crash. The accident is still under investigation.
