[06-19-2024] 20-Year-Old Male Rider Seriously Injured Following Motorcycle Vs. Vehicle Collision in Barrio LoganA 20-year-old male rider was seriously injured following a motorcycle vs. vehicle collision in San Diego on Wednesday morning, June 19, 2024.

According to the San Diego Police Department, the incident occurred shortly before 9:30 a.m. at the 2800 block of Main Street in the Barrio Logan neighborhood.

SDPD said that the 20-year-old man was riding a 2024 Kawasaki motorcycle going west on Main Street when an eastbound 2022 Toyota C-HR suddenly turned left in front of him, resulting in a broadside crash.

It was later confirmed that the motorcyclist suffered a broken leg as a result of the accident. He was taken to a local hospital via ground ambulance for further medical care.

The Toyota driver, a 47-year-old man, did not appear to be injured. It is still unclear why he made a left turn directly in front of the rider.

The authorities are still gathering all the necessary information to pinpoint the official cause of the accident. At this time, alcohol intoxication is not seen as a possible factor.

Anyone with information that could help the ongoing investigation is asked to call the authorities at 888-580-8477.

Don’t Know What To Do After An Accident?

Your safety and rights depend on what you do next after an accident. Remember the following steps if you find yourself in one:

  • Check yourself for any injuries.
  • Stay on the scene, call 9-1-1, and wait for emergency responders.
  • Move your vehicle to the road shoulder if safe; turn on hazard lights.
  • Fully cooperate with law enforcement and stay until cleared to leave.
  • Document the scene and injuries with photos and videos.
  • Seek immediate medical attention.
  • Contact your insurance company and find a personal injury lawyer for legal advice.

What A Lawyer Can Do For You

Many victims put off calling a lawyer even if they sustain injuries after an accident. However, lawyers can help you in many ways. They can provide you with police reports, CCTV footage, and witness statements to strengthen your case. Your attorney will also negotiate with insurance companies to get you fair compensation. The best part is that they will do all of these things for you at no upfront cost. So if you’re injured in an accident, hire a personal injury attorney to recover medical bills, car repair costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
