Motorcycle Wrecks in Los Angeles
Motorcycle accidents in Los Angeles often have heartbreaking outcomes. Riders have little protection during a crash, which means even a single impact can be fatal. Intersections, such as Centinela Avenue and Alvern Street where this recent tragedy occurred, are particularly dangerous for motorcyclists due to blind spots, sudden turns, and inattentive drivers. In 2023, California recorded over 500 motorcyclist deaths, many of them in high-traffic areas like Westchester.
