car accident attorney

San Diego, Calif. – As a car accident attorney, I’m always saddened to hear about serious injuries resulting from motorcycle accidents. Yesterday, a 60-year-old motorcyclist suffered serious injuries in a crash in Bay Terraces. My thoughts are with him and his family during this difficult time.

 

According to FOX 5 San Diego, the accident occurred around 3:40 PM on Wednesday in the 7200 block of Paradise Valley Road. The motorcyclist was turning left onto Briarwood Road when a 63-year-old woman driving a Toyota Prius entered the intersection, causing the motorcyclist to lose control and slide into her vehicle.

 

The motorcyclist suffered facial fractures and a brain bleed. Ambulances transported him to a local hospital with major injuries. I sincerely hope he makes a full recovery.

 

This accident serves as a reminder of the vulnerability of motorcyclists on the road. It’s crucial for all drivers to be aware of motorcycles and share the road responsibly.
