The incident happened Wednesday evening when the driver of a Ford Super Duty pickup and the driver of a Harley-Davidson were involved in an ongoing road-rage incident on U.S. 1, Port St. Lucie Police officials said.<\/p>\n

Police said the pickup also ran the red light and hit the motorcycle rider before crashing head-on into a Toyota RAV4.<\/p>\n
The 31-year-old motorcycle rider was hospitalized with serious injuries, including a brain bleed and facial fractures.<\/p>\n
Two people in the RAV4 and the driver of the Silverado were also hospitalized.<\/p>\n
The driver of the Ford pickup, 54-year-old Kevin Patrick Lonergan, was hospitalized and later arrested on charges including reckless driving causing damage to person or property and reckless driving causing serious bodily injury.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A driver is facing charges after police in Port St. Lucie said he was involved in a road-rage…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":365597,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[171,173,172],"class_list":["post-365596","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-port-st-lucie","tag-port-st-lucie","tag-port-st-lucie-headlines","tag-port-st-lucie-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/365596","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=365596"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/365596\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/365597"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=365596"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=365596"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=365596"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
