The services of a motorcycle attorney would come in handy following a tragic two-vehicle crash involving a motorbike that left one person dead in Tucson, Arizona. The incident took place on the morning of Wednesday, May 13.
Officers responded to the accident just before 10 a.m., on reports of a motorcyclist lying injured on the roadway after his motorbike crashed into an SUV. According to the police reports, the fatal occurrence occurred at Plumer Avenue.
Investigators determined that the fatal victim was riding his motorcycle across an intersection on Plumer Avenue. At the same time, a Jeep Grand Cherokee, which was previously stopped at a stop sign, also entered the intersection. According to the reports, the SUV drove directly into the motorcycle, brutally knocking the two-wheeled vehicle onto the ground.
Tucson Police and Tucson Fire Medics arrived at the scene, and found the motorcycle rider, Kyle Gabbard, 33, severely injured, but still breathing. Paramedics transported him to a hospital, where he eventually passed away from injuries sustained in the two-vehicle wreck.
Meanwhile, the driver of the SUV, who suffered no injury in the crash, stayed at the scene until law enforcement arrived. Police said he cooperated with the investigators. The driver was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol when the crash happened, field sobriety tests confirmed. Officers, however, believe speed was a contributing factor.
The crash led to the closure of all lanes on 6th Street, between Tucson Boulevard and Campbell Avenue for several hours.
Accidents involving a motorcycle and a larger vehicle often turn out fatal, with the motorcycle rider as the vulnerable party. In the event of such traffic collisions, it is essential to involve a motorcycle attorney who would conduct an independent investigation to ascertain liability. Once the liability on the motorist’s part is clarified, the victim, or his or her family in fatal cases may bring up a legal suit against the faulted driver.
