A Levy County motorcycle crash took place on SR 345 – CR 347 that led to the loss of one life.
The accident took place last evening in a two-vehicle Levy County crash. A 52-year-old motorcyclist was killed as a result.
The rider was identified as 52-year-old Paul Alan Cuipenski of Belchertown, Massachusetts. He was driving his 2003 Harley Davidson motorcycle around 5:07 p.m. at the time of the incident. A homicide investigator identified him at the scene.
At the same time, 44-year-old Joseph Pasco Testa Jr. was driving his Chevy Tahoe. The motorcycle was riding eastbound on Northwest 60th Street while the Tahoe was driving southbound approaching the same street.
The motorcycle did not stop at the intersection and entered into it without looking. The motorcycle was then struck by the Tahoe.
