As the weather gets nicer, more motorcycles will be coming around the Lake Area. Last year alone, 122 people were killed in motorcycle crashes in Missouri. Highway Patrol Sergeant Scott White says, while there are times when the motorcyclist may be driving erratically through traffic, the majority of the accidents are caused by car or truck driver.
Sergeant White also says it’s important to pay attention to the motorcyclist because their driving patterns are different, such as how they have to react when there is debris on the road.
