Jacksonville motorcyclist critically injured in hit-and-run on I-295 flyover ramp in Duval County

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A 23-year-old man from Jacksonville was critically injured early Thursday when his motorcycle was struck after another vehicle changed lanes on the I‑295 flyover ramp from I‑95 southbound to I‑295 southbound, the Florida Highway Patrol said.

Troopers said the crash occurred about 4:53 a.m. on the flyover ramp. A pickup truck moved to the right into the path of the motorcycle. The motorcyclist lost control, struck a concrete barrier, then went over the barrier onto a grass shoulder and an exit that leads to the I‑295 northbound entrance ramp.

The pickup continued southbound on I‑295 and did not stop, officials said. The Florida Highway Patrol asked anyone with information about the vehicle or its location to contact the agency.

No further details about the motorcyclist’s identity or condition beyond “critical” were released in the crash report.
