Motorcycle Deaths Drop Sharply
Good news for motorcyclists and an overall victory- motorcycle fatalities on U.S. roadways dropped dramatically in 2013 for the first time since 2009.
A National Highway Traffic Safety Administration survey said 4,668 motorcyclists lost their lives on U.S. roads in 2013, down from 4,986 in 2012. That's a 6.4 percent decrease.
That compares with a 3.1 percent decrease in all U.S. traffic fatalities.
