Clearwater, FL (May 19, 2019) - A motorcyclist is in critical condition following a crash with a vehicle on Friday, May 17th. The incident occurred on Sunset Point Road just before 6:00 a.m.
According to officials with the Clearwater Police Department, 20-year-old Quentin E. Cohen was riding his motorcycle along Sunset Point, near Highland Avenue and Keene Road, when he collided with another vehicle. Cohen was seriously hurt and was rushed to Bayfront Health St. Petersburg. As of Saturday evening, he remained in critical condition. Police have not released any details surrounding the crash and the driver of the vehicle has not been identified at this time. It remains unclear if anyone else was hurt in the incident.
The crash caused the eastbound lanes of Sunset Point Road to close while officers investigated the crash scene. There are no further details available.

Motorcycles are enjoyed by many across our state as a hobby or as a primary method of transportation. While riding a motorcycle can bring good times, it can also bring tragedy when a motorcyclist is involved in a crash. Because of the relative lack of protection offered by motorcycles, it is unfortunately common to see serious injuries and deaths when a motorcycle accident takes place. We will have to await further details of this crash in order to determine exactly what took place.
