Janice Olson tragically killed in Pottawatomie County motorcycle accident

POTTAWATOMIE COUNTY, Okla. — The Oklahoma Highway Patrol is investigating a multi-vehicle accident on June 5 that left one person dead and another critically injured.

At around 4: 42 a.m., a northbound 1998 Ford Explorer attempted to pass vehicles on U.S. 177 and struck the trailer of a 2021 Ford F-350 truck. The impact caused the Explorer to crash into a 2002 Honda GL1800 motorcycle.

Janice Olson, age 56, was riding as a passenger on the motorcycle when the accident occurred. EMS transported her to OU Medical Trauma, where she was pronounced dead.

OHP said the motorcycle’s driver, a 76-year-old man, was ejected upon impact and suffered critical injuries. He was admitted to an area hospital.

Investigators continue gathering information about the accident.


MOTORCYCLE CRASH INVESTIGATION

“Motorcyclists are arguably the most vulnerable motorists on the road,” said Candice Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 6,218 motorcyclists were killed in crashes in 2022, marking an increase compared to previous years. This number represents a significant rise from the 5,172 fatalities reported in 2017 and the 5,337 recorded in 2016.

Bond, a seasoned motorcycle accident attorney, emphasized the need for an independent investigation in cases like this to ensure the victim’s family receives proper legal protection.

“Road conditions, signage visibility, and road lighting are all possible contributing factors that are considered and must be thoroughly examined. These procedures are necessary for helping those who have lost a loved one receive the justice that they deserve.”


WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the investigation, the family of Janice Olson may pursue a wrongful death claim. Family members of wrongful death victims may seek damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident such as this.

“The stress and sorrow can be extremely overwhelming after losing a loved one in an accident,” said Bond.

“We understand just what families must go through, and having their rights protected is vital. A wrongful death lawyer will stay updated on the official investigation and help ensure that their legal rights and best interests are protected.”
