Nassawadox Eastern Shore Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
It might be a good idea for the families involved to consult an Eastern Shore motorcycle accident lawyer. On Sunday, May 22, 2016, in Nassawadox, there was a two vehicle accident in the Northampton area. As a result of the accident, one death was reported.
The accident happened on Route 13, southbound, north of Route 609. The driver of a 2000 Ford Focus made an unsafe lane change as it was traveling on Route 13. The unsafe lane change caused a 2004 Harley Davidson motorcycle to crash and roll, in an attempt to avoid the Ford Focus. Christina G. Bowman-Weaver of the 11000 Block of N. Radcliffe Lane in Chesapeake, Virginia, was a passenger on the motorycle. Christina was thrown from the motorcycle. She was taken to Riverside Shore Memorial Hospital and died later from the car and motorcycle accident injuries.
Travis Levi Godfrey, who was driving the motorcycle, was also injured but is expected to recover. The motorcycle driver and passenger were both wearing approved helmets. The driver of the Ford Focus was Irene Boyd 75, of Machipongo. Ms. Boyd was charged with an unsafe lane change and was not injured. Neither alcohol nor speed were suspected in the accident.

The Governors Highway Safety Association stated that motorcycle fatalities on U.S. roads rose 10% in 2015. The Association has said that motorcycling, in general, is a dangerous activity. If you go by miles driver, the death rate for bikers was 26 times higher than passenger vehicle occupants in 2013.
Because it is much harder to see motorcycles, we must always be vigilant when changing lanes. Also, if a motorcycle is involved in an accident, there is no protection for the passengers so they have a greater likelihood of catastrophic injuries or death.
