A lot of people in Oklahoma enjoy riding their motorcycles on the open road, but if you get into a motorcycle accident, there is a serious risk of life-changing or even fatal injuries, especially since bikes don’t provide their riders the same protection as cars. In 2020, there were 1,231 motorcycle crashes in the state. At least 661 people were hurt in motorcycle crashes that year, and 62 people died. Statistics show that riders are almost 28 times more likely to die in a collision and nearly four times more likely to be injured on the road compared to someone in a passenger car. If you or someone you know rides, you need to know how important it is to stay safe on the road.
