Motorcycle Injuries on the Rise in Brooklyn: What’s Behind the Surge?

Motorcycle accidents in Brooklyn have been on the rise, with the borough seeing a 15% increase in crashes over the past five years.

Motorcyclists are 28 times more likely to be involved in fatal accidents than car passengers due to their lack of protection on the road.
