Scenic highways like Angeles Crest Hwy are popular among motorcyclists but are also high-risk zones due to winding roads and unpredictable conditions. Motorcycle accidents often result in severe injuries because riders lack the protection afforded by cars.
The California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) emphasizes the importance of caution when navigating mountainous roads. Common factors in these accidents include speeding, sharp curves, and limited visibility. Riders are encouraged to wear protective gear and maintain a safe speed to reduce the likelihood of accidents.
