Denver, CO (October 8, 2025)  A serious crash left a motorcyclist fighting for his life on Tuesday, October 7, in Denver.

The collision happened just before 8:00 p.m., when a motorcycle and a car collided at the interchange of eastbound I-70 and Federal Boulevard. The impact threw the rider from his bike and left both vehicles badly damaged. Traffic quickly backed up as emergency crews rushed to help.

Firefighters and paramedics arrived within minutes. They worked urgently to stabilize the injured rider, who suffered severe trauma, before rushing him to a nearby hospital for emergency treatment. Authorities described his injuries as critical.

Investigators spent several hours at the scene, gathering debris and interviewing witnesses to understand what caused the collision.

Our hearts are with the injured motorcyclist and his loved ones during this difficult time. We wish him a full and swift recovery.

Motorcycle Accidents in Colorado

Motorcyclists face extreme risks on Colorado’s busy highways and city streets. Intersections and interchanges like I-70 and Federal Boulevard see frequent crashes when drivers fail to notice bikes, speed through traffic, or change lanes without warning. With little protection, riders often suffer catastrophic injuries, including broken bones, spinal damage, and head trauma.

The leading causes of motorcycle accidents in Colorado include:

  • Driver Inattention: Many motorists fail to check blind spots or misjudge a rider’s speed.
  • Speeding: Excessive speed reduces reaction time and worsens the impact of a crash.
  • Unsafe Lane Changes: Sudden moves into a motorcycle’s path often cause deadly collisions.
  • Impaired Driving: Alcohol and drugs remain major factors in serious wrecks.

Recovering from a severe motorcycle crash is long and expensive. Victims often face weeks in the hospital, multiple surgeries, rehabilitation, and time away from work. The financial burden can be crushing.

If you or someone you love suffered severe injuries in a motorcycle accident, you may be entitled to compensation. This can cover medical expenses, lost wages, ongoing care, and pain and suffering.
