Levy County, FL (March 28, 2019) - A 59-year-old motorcyclist died when he was struck from behind by a vehicle on County Road 320. Police say that the crash occurred around 1:35 p.m. on Tuesday, March 26th.
Alexander Popovich was stopped at the intersection of CR 320 and CR 321. That is when police say that 84-year-old Marygene Carothers Marti approached his motorcycle in a Toyota Corolla. Marti failed to slow her vehicle in time to avoid a collision and crashed into the rear end of Popovich's motorcycle. Rescue workers rushed to the scene and transported Popovich to UF Shands Hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries.
The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating the crash and charges are pending at this time against Bell.
We extend our deepest condolences to the family of Alexander Popovich in this tragic Levy County crash. A fatal car accident can happen seemingly out of nowhere. In this crash, the motorcyclist appeared to be following all traffic laws and was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time when he was struck from behind by an inattentive driver. Rear-end collisions have the potential to be deadly under certain circumstances.
