A 76-year-old Pinellas Park man died after losing control of his three-wheeled motorcycle on the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, the Florida Highway Patrol said.<\/p>\n
The man was riding a Spyder motorcycle northbound near milepost 12 about 12:45 p.m. April 5 when he swerved to avoid a collision with another vehicle, according to FHP. He lost control, struck a guardrail on the outside shoulder and was ejected into the northbound lane, troopers said.<\/p>\n
He was pronounced dead at the scene. The other vehicle did not stop and has not been identified, FHP said.<\/p>\n
The crash closed the bridge’s northbound lanes for more than four hours until about 5:15 p.m., authorities said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 76-year-old Pinellas Park man died after losing control of his three-wheeled motorcycle on the Sunshine Skyway Bridge,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2598,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[618,596,4226,202,204,203,199,201,200,35545],"class_list":["post-240486","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-st-petersburg","tag-florida-highway-patrol","tag-pinellas-county","tag-pinellas-park","tag-st-pete","tag-st-pete-headlines","tag-st-pete-news","tag-st-petersburg","tag-st-petersburg-headlines","tag-st-petersburg-news","tag-sunshine-skyway-bridge"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240486","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=240486"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240486\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2598"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=240486"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=240486"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=240486"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
