Man Suffers Deadly Injuries During Napa Motorcycle Crash
On Friday, March 19, 2021, one person lost his life after he sustained trauma during a Napa motorcycle crash. According to details reported by Napa Police Department (NPD), the accident happened in the afternoon on the northern edge of the city, and that the motorcycle was likely the only vehicle involved in the incident. The Napa County Sheriff’s Department has recently identified the decedent as 35-year-old Christopher Ryan Dimick of Napa.
Accident Information
NPD was first alerted to the collision at around 4:06 p.m. when officers received a call reporting a motorcyclist lying on the road next to a wrecked bike on Salvador Avenue just past the Jefferson Street intersection. Details regarding what led up to the collision haven’t been made available.
When NPD and fire department officials arrived at the accident site, they found that the motorcyclist was seriously hurt and had him placed on an ambulance and rushed out to the Queen of the Valley Medical Center. Sadly, the motorcyclist lost his life while in hospital care. No other individuals were reported to have been involved in this crash.
Investigation of Napa Motorcycle Accident
According to reports, NPD’s Accident Reconstruction Team is leading the investigation into this collision and spent five hours at the crash scene following the fatal incident. Additionally, the team has also reportedly interviewed several collision witnesses. While investigations are ongoing, police have indicated that they do not believe speeding played a role in the crash.
As their investigations continue, NPD has asked that anybody with video footage from a dashcam or home surveillance system get in touch in order to aid investigating officers. To contact NPD, those with video footage should call (707) 258-7800 extension 5217.
Private Accident Investigations
Collisions with no survivors present police with a difficult problem. Because they can’t ask the driver what happened, police may overlook important factors like defective auto parts or dangerous roadway issues that could have majorly contributed to the crash. If this happens, the family of the decedent might not be able to obtain fair compensation from negligent parties.
To be certain that a collision will be investigated to the fullest extent possible, it’s important to have a Napa wrongful death lawyer look into the accident. By having an attorney privately investigate your case, you’ll ensure that a seasoned professional is doing everything they can to advocate for you and your family’s rights.
