MOTORCYCLE

Authorities in Florida say a state trooper struck a motorcycle rider on I-4 sending the man onto the pavement, where a tractor-trailer ran over him.

Florida Highway Patrol closed three southbound lanes of the Buckman Bridge (heading towards San Jose Boulevard) about 7:30 a.m. Tuesday while rescue personnel and investigators responded to a crash.

The driver in a 2006 Toyota Highlander, stated that the first motorcycle passed him going south but the first one, “for an unknown reason, crossed the center line and struck his vehicle directly in the hood/front end,” police said.

The Putnam County Sheriff’s Office has identified the 44-year-old motorcyclist killed in a crash Thursday morning in San Mateo as Corrections Capt. Mark Elam.
