By: FL Accident News Blog as Blog Post

West Palm Beach, FL (April 11, 2020) - One motorcyclist was killed and another was critically injured in a crash that took place in West Palm Beach on Friday, April 10th. The crash happened around 10:45 p.m. on Military Trail.

According to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, a 36-year-old man was riding a motorcycle northbound on Military Trail. At the same time, a woman operating a 2004 Toyota Avalon on Community Drive. The woman attempted to make a left turn onto Military Trail when she was struck by the motorcycle. Both the motorcyclist and his passenger, a 35-year-old woman, were ejected from the bike. The man died as a result of his injuries while the female passenger was taken to a nearby hospital in critical condition. 

An investigation is ongoing at this time. No further information is available. 

Florida experiences more than 10,000 motorcycle crashes each year and approximately 500 fatalities. The rate of death and injuries in motorcycle crashes is much greater than cars and other larger vehicles. Motorcycle riders face the dangers of the initial collision and also the risk of being thrown from their motorcycle following impact. Deadly injuries can happen during any part of a motorcycle crash and riders should always use caution to protect themselves from the risks of these accidents.
