Colorado Motorcycle Crashes
As traffic volumes rise and distracted driving becomes more prevalent, Colorado’s roads have become increasingly hazardous for motorcyclists. From congested downtown streets to fast-moving suburban highways, riders face daily risks from inattentive or reckless drivers.
Motorcycle crashes are often among the most severe collisions on Colorado’s roads. Without the protection of a car or truck, riders are highly vulnerable to serious injuries, including broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord trauma, and extensive road rash. While weather and roadway conditions can play a role, the majority of crashes result from human error.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), driver error is a factor in approximately 94% of traffic accidents nationwide. In Colorado, this frequently means drivers failing to check blind spots, speeding, cutting off motorcycles, or using their phones behind the wheel. For riders, a single mistake by another motorist can have life-altering consequences.
