The release shows that an unknown white SUV was driving east along the interstate near mile marker 87. The SUV changed lanes, moving into the path of a motorcyclist heading east on the roadway, troopers said.
As a result of the lane change, the right rear of the SUV struck the motorcycle, causing the motorcyclist to lose control and run off the right of the roadway, troopers said.
Afterward, the motorcycle struck the outside shoulder concrete wall barrier before fleeing east along Interstate 4, according to FHP.
The motorcyclist — a 65-year-old man from DeBary — was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, troopers said. Reports show the man was unable to provide a tag number for the SUV, though he described it as white with fresh damage to the right rear taillight.
Anyone with information on this crash is urged to contact FHP at (407) 737-2213 or CRIMELINE.
