All lanes of I-285 west were shut down yesterday after an accident involving 2 motorcycles, a tractor-trailer, and 3 SUVs left one person dead and five others injured. One of the victims was seriously injured, while the others are listed in moderate condition at a local hospital. The operator of one of the motorcycles was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident.
Sadly, as was the case in this accident, motorcycle riders and their passengers often suffer more serious injuries in auto accidents than occupants of passenger vehicles. Motorcycles lack the protective shell and safety features standard on passenger cars, trucks, and SUVs, leaving motorcycle riders involved in auto accidents especially vulnerable to suffering serious injury and even death. Motorcycle riders injured in auto accidents and family members of riders killed in auto accidents should contact an experienced Atlanta accident attorney to discuss their case.
