Dangers of Hit-and-Run Bicycle Collisions in San Bernardino
Bicycle-related crashes, especially on freeway offramps like I-215 at Mt Vernon Ave, pose severe risks due to high vehicle speeds and the vulnerability of cyclists. Hit-and-run incidents intensify these dangers, often delaying critical medical response and complicating investigations.
According to the California Office of Traffic Safety, San Bernardino County consistently reports a high number of bicycle-involved injury collisions. Many of these crashes occur near freeway connectors and intersections where visibility and right-of-way conflicts can lead to serious outcomes.
Victims of hit-and-run collisions may still be eligible for compensation through uninsured motorist coverage or victim assistance programs, even if the driver is not immediately located. Legal counsel can help injured parties navigate these options and seek fair recovery.
