More than 50 percent of fatal motorcycle crashes in Delray Beach and Boca Raton are broadside crashes, meaning that a motorcyclist is struck on the side by another motorist, usually while making a left turn. Most of these cases are ones in which motorists aren’t paying attention and are at fault for the accident. While many of these crashes occur on I-95, many also occur on A1A and Atlantic Ave.

In these cases, motorists are often at fault for speeding or improper signaling.
