A motorcyclist died late Thursday night after crashing into a median and a tree on Jacksonville’s Westside, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.
JSO Sgt. Robert Hungerford said the motorcyclist, a man in his late 40s, was traveling eastbound in the 11000 block of Crystal Springs Road around 11:37 p.m. when he “veered to the left and struck the center median curb and then a tree.”
Hungerford said the collision caused the man to be ejected from his motorcycle.
