Motorcyclists travel Fresno streets at extreme risk at any hour of the day. Drivers often say they can’t see motorcyclists well enough to avoid them. Yet, many motorcyclists are struck at night when they have their lights on and are almost impossible to miss.

Fresno motorists must pay more attention to the lanes ahead and the lanes beside them at all hours. It’s the only way to reduce the number of devastating motorcycle accidents in our city each year.

Motorcyclists Killed in Fourth of July Collision in Fresno

Two riders on a motorcycle tragically lost their lives after a collision with a car on Tuesday night in eastern Fresno. According to KGPE-TV, the accident happened at the intersection of Chestnut Avenue and Clinton Avenue on July 4, 2023.

The Fresno Police Department responded to the scene at around 11 p.m. They determined that a car struck a motorcycle carrying two people. A man and woman, both with helmets on, were injured in the impact.

Officials say that one victim on the motorcycle was declared dead at the scene. The other victim was rushed to a local hospital and died there. Both victims were in their 30s. Their identities have not been released. No one in the car involved was injured.

Fresno police investigators continue to examine the circumstances surrounding the accident. The driver involved remained on the scene to answer questions from officers. Investigators don’t think drugs or alcohol played a role in the crash.

Finding Help for Families After a Tragic Fresno Motorcycle Accident

Families who must say goodbye to a loved one after a motorcycle accident may risk a financial crisis when faced with the bills that often follow a tragedy. Families should be allowed to grieve instead of having to worry about the financial consequences of an accident that someone else caused.

A wrongful death claim filed against an at-fault driver’s car insurance provider can ask for assistance with these expenses and more:

• All emergency response fees and ambulance charges
• Any remaining hospital bills
• Funeral and burial expenses
• Additional support for the lost guidance and care the deceased would have provided
• Additional support for the weekly income the deceased can no longer provide the family
