Anaheim: SUV Struck and Injured Motorcyclist

Shortly before 10:30 yesterday morning, an SUV struck and injured a motorcyclist in Anaheim. The collision occurred on Ball Road when the driver of a Toyota RAV4 hit a Harley Davidson motorcycle while changing lanes, the impact sending its rider into the driveway of the North Orange County ROP Career & Technical campus. Paramedics transported the rider to a local hospital for treatment, explains an Orange County injury attorney. 

Anaheim accounted for 52 of the 140 fatal and injury motorcycle accidents suffered in Orange County in 2009, according to the California Office of Traffic Safety’s most current data. That year, the number of fatalities suffered by motorcyclists across the state decreased by 29.6 percent, from 560 in 2008 to 394 in 2009—marking the end of an 11-year, 175 percent increase.

All of us at Allen, Flatt, Ballidis, and Leslie would like to wish the motorcyclist who was struck and injured by the SUV yesterday a full recovery.
