Bicycle Accident Statistics

Orange County is a beautiful place, so it is no surprise that bicycles are a popular form of transportation among residents, workers and tourists. In an effort to protect its bicyclists, Orange County has implemented at least 1,000 miles of designated bicycle paths and lanes. Unfortunately, these pathways have done little to curb the threat of danger to cyclists on the road. Each year, approximately 1,000 bicyclists are injured in Orange County traffic accidents. Some of these bicycle accidents are fatal. In 2016, 12 bicyclists were killed while pedaling around Orange County.

Major Causes Of Bike Accidents

Bicycle accidents can happen for a variety of reasons. However, some causes of bicycle accidents are more common than others. Common causes of bicycle accidents in Orange County include:

• Failure to obey traffic laws
• Crossing intersections improperly
• Riding outside of designated bike lanes
• Driving or riding under the influence of drugs or alcohol
• Riding at night without reflective materials
• Aggressive drivers
• Distracted drivers or riders
• Poor road conditions

Furthermore, these accidents can lead to significant injuries, from broken bones to internal damage to even death.
