Riding a bicycle can be a very hazardous activity. Bicyclists are very vulnerable to suffering death or serious injury in the event that they are involved in a vehicle crash. When a bicyclist is hurt in a crash with a vehicle, police must closely examine the scene to determine the exact sequence of the accident. Once the investigation is complete, a determination will be made as to negligence and, ultimately, responsibility, for the crash.
