Reports indicate that 23-year-old Johnathan Dujuan Thompson was driving a Dodge Ram truck eastbound on I-4. At the same time, an unidentified motorcyclist was also traveling eastbound on I-4. The motorcyclist collided with Thompson's truck, and following the impact of the crash, Thompson fled the scene.
