Deadly Motorcycle Accidents in New Jersey
In the northeastern corridor, riding motorcycles is a common pastime, particularly in the hotter summer months.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that about 5,000 people died in motorcycle accidents in 2015, an 8.3 percent increase from the previous year. In New Jersey, almost 13,000 motorcycle accidents were reported between 2010 and 2015. 90% of motorcycle riders involved in accidents lacked proper instruction in motorcycle safety.
