The witness reported seeing the motorcyclist \u201clying on the roadway,\u201d rushing to see if he could help, finding the motorcyclist \u201cunresponsive,\u201d and then watching helplessly as a driver ran him over and kept on going, according to the report. <\/p>\n
Seminole Fire Rescue personnel took the motorcyclist to Memorial Regional Hospital, where staff pronounced him dead, according to police. <\/p>\n
