MADISON, Wis. - May is national "Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month" and the Wisconsin State Patrol is asking motorcyclists and all other motorists to share the road, be alert and safe.
A news release says 2020 preliminary data for Wisconsin shows there were 2,095 motorcycle crashes, 1,788 motorcyclists injured, and 112 motorcycle fatalities.
"Drivers must be in the habit of looking for motorcyclists," Wisconsin State Patrol Captain Anne Maxson said, "and motorcyclists should watch for other vehicles and get properly trained and licensed. Together we can save lives."
