Clearwater Woman Dies in Motorcycle Crash
Local Media outlets report that a Clearwater woman, Shannon Fondow, passed away as a result of injuries she sustained in a traffic accident in Tampa. The Florida Highway Patrol reports that the accident occurred Friday, August 8, 2008, and Ms. Fondow was taken to St. Joseph’s hospital in Tampa where she died this past Tuesday.
 
According to the article posted by the Suncoast News, the motorcycle drove into the rear of a vehicle stopped at the intersection of Hillsborough Avenue and Longboat Boulevard, in Hillsborough County.
 
As a personal injury attorney and motorcycle rights advocate, I take everything I read in the media with a grain of salt. For example, in this article I presume Ms. Fondow was the operator of the motorcycle and not a passenger only because she is described as a rider, and there is no other mention of another injured person.
 
Before any conclusions can be drawn about how the accident occurred or who is liable, a more thorough investigation would need to be done, rather than rely solely on the small news story which includes a brief Florida Highway Patrol account. The full traffic crash report would need to be reviewed, and separate witness interviews conducted. These would be some of the initial steps, and then a more detailed investigation could be conducted based on the individual facts of the situation. Even though the general facts may be similar to other incidents, every situation is unique and should be investigated with an open mind before drawing any conclusions.

Our sincere condolences go out to the family of Ms. Fondow.
