According to the San Bernardino County Coroner’s office, a 63-year old man, was the victim of a fatal motorcycle accident in Fontana recently. The man was traveling on Slover Avenue when another motorcycle rider sideswiped him; he was ejected from his seat.
Paramedics took him to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. The Fontana Police Department reported that the second motorcyclist had no injuries although there was some damage to his motorcycle.
The police are investigating the accident. My sympathy goes out to the family of the victim.

There is nothing worse than being involved in an accident, even a fender bender can ruin your day. However, when you are involved in a motorcycle accident, serious bodily injuries can occur or it could be deadly. Motorcyclists have no protective barrier between themselves and the concrete road.
Motorcycles are fast and go in and out of traffic quickly – speeding can cause severe consequences. Statistics show that about two-thirds of motorcycle accidents are a result of a motorist turning into the motorcyclist’s lane, violating his or her right of way. In addition, motorcyclists have a much higher rate of death than a passenger does in an automobile.
More than three thousand people died in the United States last year because of motorcycle accidents – many due to negligence of the driver. If you are a victim of a motorcycle accident, I suggest you contact an experienced Personal Injury attorney who can investigate the accident for you and make sure you are compensated for your expenses.

If you drive a motorcycle in San Bernardino County or any county, I suggest you take extra precautions. Statistics show that four counties in California, including San Bernardino, have a high number of motorcycle deaths and injuries.
The California Highway Patrol is working to promote motorcycle safety on California freeways and roads by reducing the number of fatal accidents and injuries by implementing a 24-month traffic safety program. This program will be in effect until September 2011. The program will include a public education campaign with two public service announcements promoting the use of helmets. In addition, 15 motorcycle safety presentations will be conducted in high-risk cities. This program is being funded by the California office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Have you heard that the California Highway Patrol has created a two-year traffic safety program to try to reduce fatal motorcycle accidents and injuries in San Bernardino, Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego Counties? It seems these counties have a large amount of fatal accidents each year – making them high-risk.
The program involves law enforcement from the air and educating the public about sharing the road with motorcyclists. It will include two public service announcements promoting the safety of helmets and fifteen motorcycle safety presentations in each county. In addition, it will also include a minimum of nine safety enforcement operations in high-risk areas.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration funds this program.

A few months ago, a terrible accident occurred on the corner of Del Rosa Avenue and Date Place. The intersection has three gas stations and is close to the 210 Freeway entrance. A driver ran into a motorcyclist, which caused the motorcyclist to fly about 50 feet into the air and broke his leg. The San Bernardino Police Department, after collecting accident data for over five years, determined that this intersection is the most dangerous in the city.
The Police Department received a grant from The Selective Traffic Enforcement Program to fix this problem. New radar equipment and special patrol operations should now be able to catch red-light violators and other traffic offenders, including speeders. The causes for these accidents include illegal turns, speeding and right-of-way violations. Right turns are not allowed from Date to Del Rosa on a red light. However, many drivers ignore the signs. The Police pull over many drivers every day for violations.
I hope anyone involved in a serious auto accident knows to contact an experienced Car Accident Attorney.
