Adult and Child Injured When Truck Hits Motorcycle in Topeka, Kansas

A motorcycle injury accident involving a truck put a damper on Memorial Day weekend for one Topeka family, although this Topeka, Kansas truck and motorcycle crash could have been much worse.  A child and an adult riding a Harley Davidson were thrown from the bike when they were struck by a pickup truck that failed to allow the motorcycle the right of way as they both approached an intersection in Topeka, KS.  The boy broke his leg and the man suffered an injury to his arm, but otherwise everyone made it out okay.

This isn't alw ays the case in a motorcycle crash, especially when there is a child involved.  In this situation, both of the motorcycle riders were wearing helmets and the impact itself happened at a low speed but because of how vulnerable motorcycle riders are, being exposed the way they are, severe injury such as brain or spinal cord injuries are highly like and probable.

This summer, with more and more motorcycles out on the road, it is important that automobile drivers are on high alert at all times in order to prevent motorcycle wrecks.  Motorcycle riders have the same rights to the road as drivers of cars and trucks.  If we all look out for each other, serious injury from these motorcycle and car collisions can be reduced.
