Charlotte County, FL (January 14, 2019) - A motorcyclist in Charlotte County is in critical condition following a crash with a vehicle in Charlotte County.
The Florida Highway Patrol responded to the intersection of El Jobean and Newcomb Road around 11:00 am on Saturday, January 12th. Investigators learned that 64-year-old Kristen Holmberg was driving a 2019 Chevrolet Cruze eastbound on El Jobean. At the same time, 68-year-old Robert Robertson was driving a 2018 Harley Davidson, also traveling eastbound. As Holmberg attempted to change lanes, she struck Robertson's vehicle.
Robertson's motorcycle overturned from the impact of the crash. He was transported to Lee County Hospital with life-threatening injuries. Holmberg was cited for making an improper lane change.
We hope for a full and complete recovery for Robert Robertson, who was hurt in this tragic Charlotte County motorcycle crash.
