I recently came across an interesting letter to the New Bern Sun Journal regarding motorcycle safety. The letter writer, Rick Barney of New Bern, notes that there have been 117 motorcycle crashes in Craven County within the past three years including two fatalities within the past two weeks.
Mr. Barney’s letter discusses the importance of motorcycle rider training and indicates that a basic rider course is offered through the Craven County Community College.
Read Mr. Barney’s letter.
Mr. Barney’s letter highlights many of the issues that we frequently see in motorcycle accidents. A large number of motorcycle accidents happen because on-coming drivers fail to pay attention to motorcyclists. Frequently, the accident occurs when a vehicle turns into the path of a motorcycle.

A young man named David Sandmeyer was riding his motorcycle on Saturday afternoon when a pickup truck pulled into his path.
The accident happened in Newport, NC on N.C Highway 24 near the Pender Park Fuel Market. Apparently, the driver of the pickup truck was waiting for a funeral procession to pass and did not see Mr. Sandmeyer on his motorcycle. According to reports, there have been other serious accidents at this location and it is not clear whether this location posed an unsual roadway hazard that should have bene fixed by the NCDOT. Mr. Sandmeyer did not survive the accident.
Mr. Sandmeyer was a Marine stationed at Cherry Point and he was from Minnesota.

The terrible accident is another example of a vehicle turning into the path of a motorcycle. Like many others, this accident ended in tragedy for the Sandmeyer family. Under North Carolina law, this accident would give rise to a wrongful death claim for the family members of Mr. Sandmeyer.
