Safety Concerns
The surge in motorcycle fatalities in Erie County raises concerns about the safety of motorcyclists on the road. Motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable to collisions due to their lack of protection in the event of an accident.
Erie police urge all motorcyclists to exercise caution and wear protective gear. Drivers are also reminded to be aware of motorcycles and yield the right of way when necessary.
