JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 A man in his early 20s riding a minibike was killed in a crash with an SUV on Gate Parkway early Saturday morning, according the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.<\/p>\n
JSO Sgt. Robert Hungerford said the the crash occurred around 1:10 a.m. on Gate Parkway underneath J. Turner Butler Boulevard (JTB).<\/p>\n
Hungerford said the man was riding a Coleman minibike southbound on Gate Parkway in the middle lane when a woman driving a Lexus SUV turned left from JTB onto Gate Parkway and struck him in the intersection.<\/p>\n
Both vehicles reportedly collided in the middle of the intersection, which caused all lanes of Gate Parkway to close temporarily.<\/p>\n
Hungerford said paramedics arrived on scene and took the man to a local hospital, where he died shortly after arriving. The woman driving the SUV remained at the scene and is cooperating with the ongoing investigation, according to Hungerford.<\/p>\n
