ESCONDIDO - A 54-year-old woman suffered serious injuries Saturday morning when her motorcycle collided with a white 2006 Chevrolet van on northbound Interstate 15, the North County Times reported. The accident occurred near El Norte Parkway at 10:45 a.m., when a 28-year-old San Marcos man veered in front of the woman's bike. The woman, who was not identified, was riding with a group of female motorcycle riders when the van moved in front of the group. The driver of the van was arrested on suspicion of driving without a license. The CHP reported the driver appeared to be extremely fatigued. A drug test indicated he was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Cause of the Interstate 15 Motorcycle Accident
The cause of the July 2nd Escondido motorcycle accident remains under investigation by the California Highway Patrol. Based on the limited information provided in news reports, the cause of the accident is not clear. It appears that the motorcyclist likely could have done nothing to avoid the collision. Hopefully, the investigation by the CHP will reveal exactly what happened, and who was ultimately responsible.
Motorcycle Accident Personal Injury Liability
If it is determined that the driver of the Chevy van caused the accident, he may be liable for the serious injuries sustained by the Fallbrook woman. While this injury accident remains under investigation, the injured victim or her family members would be well-advised to speak to an experienced San Diego motorcycle accident attorney. A personal injury lawyer who specializes in the unique legal issues of motorcycle accidents can advise the victim of her legal rights and best course of action to recover damages for her medical expenses, lost earnings, pain and suffering, and other damages. After any serious injury accident, it is advisable to speak with an attorney soon following an accident, while witness recollections and important evidence can most easily be obtained
