Motorcycle accidents, particularly those involving larger vehicles such as semi-trucks, are often severe due to the significant size and weight disparity. These collisions are frequently caused by visibility challenges, misjudged distances, or unexpected maneuvers near intersections or highway interchanges.
Efforts to improve motorcycle safety in Kentucky include public awareness campaigns, rider education programs, and enhanced roadway signage. However, motorcyclists remain particularly vulnerable in crashes involving commercial vehicles.
