Today, we’re talking about something incredibly important: motorcycle safety—especially in light of a tragic accident that occurred Thursday on the 215 Freeway in Riverside County.

It was around 7:35 PM when a fatal crash took place on the Riverside Freeway near Van Buren Boulevard. A rider on a 3-wheel motorcycle collided with what’s believed to be a semi-truck and or a Ford F-150 pickup truck. Tragically, the rider died at the scene.

We don’t know yet exactly what caused the crash, but investigators are working hard to piece everything together. What we do know is that the motorcycle was blocking the middle lanes, the pickup truck had stopped behind the rider, and a semi-truck pulled over to the shoulder.

Motorcycle accidents like this one remind us of just how vulnerable riders are, especially on freeways and in high-traffic areas. These bikes provide no protection for riders. A collision can quickly lead to severe injuries or, as we saw in this tragic case, even death.

That’s why safety on the road is crucial. Here are a few tips to help protect yourself if you ride a motorcycle:

Wear Proper Gear: Always wear a helmet, gloves, protective jacket, pants, and boots. Protective gear can be a lifesaver in the event of a crash.

Be Visible: Make sure you’re visible to other drivers, especially at night. Wear bright-colored clothing and use reflective tape if you can.

Maintain Safe Following Distance: Give yourself enough time to react to other drivers, especially in heavy traffic or bad weather.

Avoid Lane Splitting: Lane splitting, or riding between cars, is dangerous and often illegal in many areas. Always keep a safe distance from other vehicles.

And, of course, always stay alert. Be aware of your surroundings and never assume that other drivers can see you or will yield the right of way.

We still don’t know all the details of what happened on that fateful night in Riverside. But this tragic incident highlights the importance of being prepared and cautious on the road, especially when riding a motorcycle.
