By: FL Accident News Blog as Blog Post

Jacksonville, FL (October 26, 2018) - A motorcycle officer suffered injuries in a crash that took place in Jacksonville on Thursday, October 25th.

At the time of the crash, the officer was part of a motorcade escorting Vice President Mike Pence.   The crash involved a white car colliding with the officer's bike.  There are no specific details on how the accident occurred.  A man named James Lewis said that his wife was talking on the phone when she collided with the officer.  The motorcycle officer was not identified.

The officer was seen being placed into an ambulance at the crash scene.  His injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.

Motorcycle accidents can be serious and devastating.  While motorcycle riders often ride for enjoyment and thrills, a crash can happen suddenly and can be life-altering.  As of 2017, Florida led the nation in motorcycle accident deaths.  The number of injured victims in these crashes is also very high.
