BRAZIL Man lost control of his motorcycle and crashed. He was unharmed, but his girlfriend, who was riding with him as a passenger, died at the scene from a severe head injury. Preliminary information indicates that the accident was caused by the poor technical condition of his motorcycle.
The young woman’s death can be described as completely unnecessary. This is one of those incidents where wearing a helmet could have almost certainly saved her life. Unfortunately, she neglected this basic safety measure. The incident serves as a reminder of why we should not make the same mistake.
