23 motorcycle crashes were reported within 60 m of the road from 2021–2025: 6 killed or seriously injured someone, and 2 were fatal. 70% involved no other vehicle. Busier roads have more crashes partly because more people ride them, so these counts don't say how risky the road is.
Bends, straights and junctions
Outside city limits, 22 motorcycle crashes were reported on Highway 155 (Glennville to Lake Isabella) from 2021–2026, 3 of them within 40 m of a junction. Of the other 19, 12 (63%) were in bends tighter than a 100 m radius, which make up 35% of the road. So crashes gather in the bends, more than their share of the road. 10 of the 15 crashes with no other vehicle were in bends.
A crash alone in a bend usually means running wide or losing grip: set your speed before the bend, look through it, and expect gravel, sand or diesel mid-corner.
