Daytona Bike Week Brings Thousands of Bikers in Close Proximity
Each year, Daytona Bike Week brings more than 100,000 riders together over a ten-day period. While this event is a rite of passage for many riders, it can also become the scene of motorcycle accidents resulting in injuries and deaths.
The bustling event can lead to accidents when:
- The large crowds of bikers cause confusion
- Motorcyclists engage in dangerous acts, such as speeding
- Riders race, endangering others in the process
- Riders are intoxicated or under the influence of drugs
In 2021, the Associated Press reported the death of six riders during Daytona Bike Week. Tragically, such accidents are not uncommon, and your Bike Week may turn into a nightmare if you or a loved one are involved in a collision.
