Fatal Bicycle Crashes in California
The California Highway Patrol reported that from 2003-2015, 1,753 bicyclists were killed in California. This number is quite frightening considering the fact that more and more people are commuting by bicycle now than they were in 2003. The high price of gasoline, concern for the environment, and many other reasons are prompting many people to turn to bikes instead of cars for their daily commute.
When a vehicle hits a bicyclist, the experience can be terrifying, requiring intense physical and emotional healing. Many collisions between vehicles and bicyclists turn fatal.
