Overview on the Grand Avenue Collision
When a motorcycle is involved in a multi-vehicle crash, investigators typically examine the Right-of-Way and Turning Law. It requires drivers making turns to yield to oncoming traffic that presents an immediate hazard. Determining which vehicle had the right-of-way and whether a turn or lane change caused the crash will be key in this case.
If speed played a role, the Reasonable and Prudent Speed Law may also apply. This law requires drivers to maintain a speed that is safe for road, traffic, and weather conditions. Even slight speeding can prove fatal when a motorcycle is involved.
Additionally, Arizona’s Motorcycle Safety Statute emphasizes that drivers must stay alert for motorcycles and ensure intersections are clear before turning or merging. These statutes will guide Peoria police investigators as they work to determine what led to the Grand Avenue collision and the death of Michael Anthony Bianco.
