Seattle Car versus Motorcycle Accident

A news report in King5 states that there may have been injuries in a Seattle motorcycle accident on the Interstate 5, which also involved a car. According to the report, the accident happened between Mercer Street and the State Route 520 interchange. The cause of the crash is still unknown as is the extent of the injuries.

In any accident involving a car and a motorcycle, it is very likely that a motorcyclist would suffer more serious injuries because motorcycle riders do not have the same level of protection as drivers of other larger vehicles. Motorcyclists are basically exposed to the elements and risk being thrown off their motorcycle. That is why it is extremely important for motorcyclists to be well-protected. If you ride a motorcycle in Seattle or Washington State, the law requires that you wear a helmet. You should be wearing a full-faced helmet to protect yourself from severe, potentially fatal, head injuries.
