The motorcyclist was taken to UCI Medical Center in the city of Orange for treatment of his injuries, and is expected to survive his severe injuries.
This serious motorcycle – automobile collision sheds light into the severe injuries that can occur to motorcyclists that are involved in collisions. Local authorities report that luckily the motorcyclist was wearing protective gear including a helmet, that surely prevented his injuries from possibly even being worse than they were.
Serious injuries such as broken bones and fractures require significant medical care and rehabilitation for treatment. Sometimes, severe fractures even require surgery and implementation of hardware and screws to stabilize the bones and to encourage proper healing. Many times, physical therapy will be required to help with the rehabilitation. It is very important to receive proper medical care for the treatment of fractures to ensure the bones heal properly and don’t have additional complications in the future.
