We wish to extend our deepest sympathies to the family of Grace Tranc in the aftermath of this tragic incident in Bradenton. Sadly, fatal motorcycle crashes are a common occurrence in Florida. Although motorcycles represent only about 3% of all registered motor vehicles, they also make up nearly 18% of all traffic fatalities. This is a much higher proportion than any other type of vehicle crash in our state. The limited protection offered by motorcycles means that crashes are often severe or fatal.
