According to Oceanside police, a motorcyclist was killed in an accident on Sunday, July 1, 2018.
The man was traveling eastbound on Oceanside Boulevard prior to the collision. A Chevrolet truck that was heading in the opposite direction made a left turn in front of the motorcycle rider. The motorcyclist collided with the westbound truck and died before he could be taken to the hospital. The crash remains under investigation, and it is not clear if one of the drivers was at fault or if both were at fault. But the family of the motorcyclist may be looking to make a claim.
Motorcycles do not have the same protections the metal frame and glass windows of a car have to offer. For these reasons, it is important to drive more carefully, slow down and be on high alert for oncoming vehicles and cars coming out of driveways and around corners. Motorcycle accidents, whether or not it involves another automobile, can result in serious injuries or even death. Dealing with the trauma and stress caused by a motorcycle accident can be confusing, difficult, and intimidating, but we can help and give you the answers you need.
