Lanes Closed after a Motorcycle Accident on East 27th Avenue

KENNEWICK, WA (October 19, 2023) – On Sunday, a crash on South Oak Street and East 27th Avenue left one person with serious injuries.

According to the Benton County Sheriff’s Office, one person was injured in the collision, and paramedics immediately transported the person to the hospital.

Furthermore, the authorities have not yet released the involved vehicles other than the motorcycle.

Consequently, authorities temporarily shut down a portion of the street to allow for cleanup and preliminary duties. However, the roadway has since been reopened.

No other information was added, and the Benton County Sheriff’s Office took over the investigation.

It is important to observe proper caution when riding a motorcycle. Do not underestimate the bike’s speed. When turning or changing lanes, use hand and turn signals to give other drivers enough time to slow down and prepare for you to get over. To increase visibility, wear brightly colored clothes and reflective tape. For other drivers, check all your mirrors and blind spots for motorcycles before merging with traffic or changing lanes, especially at intersections. Also, allow more following distance when behind a motorcycle. This gives them more time to react or stop in case of an emergency. Create safer roads and save lives by abiding by all traffic laws and observing safety precautions.
