Motorcycle Helmet-less Rider Dies From Head Injury

On August 20th 2009 Matthew Soma was riding his motorcycle northbound on Iowa 48 when the road curved to the right and he failed to negotiate the turn. Mr. Samo went off the road into the ditch and up the embankment where he was ejected from the bike into a railroad crossing sign where he struck the railroad track. Mr. Samo was not wearing a helment and died as a result of the injuries suffered during the crash. Wearing a helmet can make the difference between life and death. Maybe wearing a helmet is a silent reminder to drive slower and to be safer. Would it in this instance have made a difference? We don’t know but we do know the rider died from traumatic brain injury.
