The crash involved a 1997 Kawasaki Ninja motorcycle and a 2017 Hyundai Sonata attempting to make a left turn into a driveway. The motorcyclist, who tried to overtake the vehicle, collided with it and was ejected from his motorcycle, succumbing to his injuries at the scene. The driver of the Hyundai was transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Motorcycle accidents remain a serious concern in New York State. According to the Institute for Traffic Safety Management and Research, an average of 162 motorcyclists died annually on New York roads between 2017 and 2021. Factors such as blind spots, left-turn collisions, and hazardous road conditions contribute to these tragic incidents.
