Drivers of vehicles owe a legal duty of care to those around them who could be affected by their actions and decisions.  This not only includes passengers of vehicles, but it clearly includes those who are driving motorcycles.  While it's too early to know exactly what occurred, what is known is that two people were seriously injured in a Phoenix motorcycle accident that involved only that vehicle.  Police are continuing to investigate the situation and have not yet identified the parties involved in the crash.

According to the police, this Phoenix motorcycle accident occurred last night at 9:20 p.m. when an unidentified 53-year-old man and an unidentified 47-year-old woman were riding a motorcycle on the northbound Interstate 17 near Cactus Road.  At that point, both parties fell off of the motorcycle and were seriously injured as a result.  Updates on their conditions were not released, and the cause of this crash has not yet been identified.  What is known is that the parties were rushed to the nearest hospital for emergency treatment.
