[12-03-2024] – Airlifted in Rio Vista Motorcycle Crash

Rio Vista, CA – A motorcycle rider sustained injuries following a collision on Highway 160 this past Sunday. The accident occurred around 2 p.m., just north of Highway 12. According to officers, the motorcyclist was struck by a vehicle, suffering significant injuries as a result. Emergency medical personnel promptly airlifted the rider to a hospital for urgent care.

As the situation unfolds, law enforcement is looking into whether drugs or alcohol were factors that contributed to the crash.

Take Time to Check Your Vehicle

To help prevent such accidents, it’s important to inspect your vehicle regularly. Start by checking your headlights and turn signals to ensure they are functioning correctly and can be seen from a distance. Also, check your tire pressure and adhere to the recommended maximum level. While you’re at it, take a moment to look underneath your vehicle to ensure there are no loose items or fluid leaks.

Staying focused while driving is essential. Eliminate distractions that could lead to accidents, such as using mobile phones or tending to unrestrained children. Most importantly, always refrain from drinking and driving.
