A total of eight of these crashes were fatal, and 18,710 of them resulted in injuries. Regretfully, the annual number of bicycle accidents resulting in fatalities keeps rising. Riders are not sufficiently protected in a motor vehicle collision to withstand the full force of the impact, and accidents involving bicycles are much more likely to be deadly or cause serious injuries.
