Sturgis, SD

Only three of the deceased riders are confirmed to have been wearing helmets. That's one more death when compared to the 2023 rally. The Sturgis Rally finished on August 11th, and in the period just before, during, and after the event, 12 riders were left dead as a result of road traffic accidents. Of the riders killed, just three were confirmed to have been wearing helmets, while seven of the riders weren't wearing helmets. It's still under investigation whether or not two of the riders were wearing helmets.
