FRUIT COVE, Fla. — A 19-year-old man died Wednesday night after his motorcycle crashed with a semi-truck in Fruit Cove, according to the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP).
FHP said the motorcyclist and a semi-truck were both traveling north on State Road 13, just south of Otoes Place, when the driver of the semi-truck made a right turn into a shopping plaza.
As a result, troopers said the front of the motorcycle crashed into the right side of the semi-truck. The collision reportedly caused the motorcyclist to fall onto the road.
The motorcyclist, who troopers said was from Jacksonville, was taken to the hospital where he later died. The driver of the semi-truck, a 61-year-old Largo man, was not injured in the crash.
FHP did not release the identities of those involved.
