Cape Coral, FL (January 21, 2019) - A Collier County motorcyclist suffered serious injuries in a hit-and-run crash on Interstate 75. The crash took place on Sunday, January 20th.

The Mustang changed lanes directly behind Doolin and struck the motorcycle from behind. Doolin was thrown from his bike. The Mustang driver then fled the crash scene before police could arrive.

Hit-and-run crashes account for nearly a quarter of all reported accidents in Florida. When a hit-and-run occurs, the victim may be left feeling helpless. It is illegal to leave the scene of an injury accident and is actually a felony punishable by incarceration. In this case, the suspect driver will face severe criminal charges once she is apprehended.
