Oildale, CA – Fatal Motorcycle Accident on North Chester Avenue
Oildale, CA (December 25, 2018) On the 22nd of December, a fatal motorcycle crash happened at the intersection of North Chester Avenue and Roberts Lane. According to the reports, a vehicle collided with a 27-year-old motorcyclist named James Richard Robles for unknown reasons. Because they drove through the intersection at the same time, the impact of the accident ejected Robles from his bike and onto the roadway. When emergency crews arrived, they rushed Robles to Kern Medical for treatment. Unfortunately, he passed away at the hospital. The accident is currently under investigation.
We are deeply saddened to know that Robles lost his life in this accident. We send our condolences to his family and hope they maintain the strength to get through this hard time.
Motorcycle Accidents in California
Studies show that thousands of motorcyclists lose their lives every year in California. Unfortunately, the numbers continue to increase. The most common cause of all motorcycle accidents is other drivers not paying attention to their surroundings. Drivers who are using their cell phones, driving under the influence, speeding, falling asleep at the wheel, or even eating, are putting themselves and others in danger. When they’re distracted, they’re not checking their blind spots for oncoming motorcyclists, which can cause serious injuries or even fatalities.
The police are currently investigating which driver had the right of way and which driver ran the red light. Once they conclude their findings, Robles’ family may be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit to help cover medical bills and funeral expenses.
