New Jersey Motorcycle Accident Leaves Two People Injured
A motorcycle accident that recently occured left two people seriously injured. According to a Trenton Times article 31 year-old Dheeraj Kalpish and 26 year-old Jessica S. Zito were traveling westbound on 1-195 when their motorcycle crashed into the rear of a car directly in front of them. The impact threw both of them about 30 feet off the motorcycle leaving them in critical condition. According to the State Police, Kaplish was rushed to the Cooper Hospital-University Medical Center in Camden, by a medical helicopter. Jessica Zito was transported to the trauma unit at Capital Health System at Fuld hospital in Trenton, by an ambulance.
As a Monmouth County New Jersey Motorcycle accident lawyer attorney I have seen first hand the devastating toll that motorcycle accidents have taken on its victims and families. It was not reported in the above article whether the car in front of the motorcycle suddenly stopped short (a very possible scenario). Regardless of whose fault the crash was, we know for certain that New Jersey's over crowed highways and major roads can be a most dangerous place for motorcycle riders.
It was also not reported in the article that the motorcycle was driving in a very reckless manner. When the speeding motorcycle cut in front of the car in front of me Sunday night, my words to my daughters were..."He is going to get hurt or kill himself..." Seconds later, myself and my 2 teenage girls witnessed the accident and the body of who we believe to have been the passenger, fly high into the air. It was a very devastating experience for us all....My wish is that our prayers for the 2 victims will have been answered and that they will live with little or no effects from the crash.....perhaps they will be lucky enough to walk away with a serious lesson learned...
Yes, the highways are sometimes crowded, but on a holiday weekend, especially, it is to be expected. I truly believe that if the driver of the motorcycle was not swerving in and out of cars, this accident would have never happened.
