SALT LAKE CITY â As more people hit the road for spring and summer road trips, Utah motorcyclists are warning everybody on the road to be more aware.
According to stats from the Utah Department of Public Safety, motorcycles were involved in 1,092 crashes in 2020. From those accidents, 1,022 people suffered injuries and 45 people died.
âMost of the accidents that kill us are in fact cars not seeing us,â said Terry Marasco, a member of the Riderz Foundation.
The Riderz Foundation was created by a Utah woman who survived a serious motorcycle accident caused by a distracted driver. The foundationâs main mission is to raise awareness.
