Gainesville, FL (July 22, 2019) - A crash between a motorcycle and an SUV claimed the life of one person in Gainesville. The crash took place on Sunday, July 21st, at the intersection of 13th Street and 30th Avenue.
Police say that the SUV was attempting to make a left turn from 30th Avenue when it collided with the motorcycle. The SUV then caught fire following the crash. The SUV driver was able to escape and was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The motorcyclist, however, sustained serious injuries and was taken to a local hospital, where he later died. The road remained blocked off while police investigated the crash. No one involved has been identified at this time and an investigation is ongoing.

Our thoughts go out to the family of the motorcyclist who was killed in this tragic Gainesville crash.
Florida experiences more than 600 fatal motorcycle crashes each year and the number is still climbing. In addition to fatalities, thousands more are injured when they are involved in a Florida motorcycle crash. Riders who survive a motorcycle accident are likely to be left with serious injuries requiring hospitalization and extensive medical treatment.
