A fatal accident is reported in Florida about every three hours. While fatal accidents involving scooters and motorcycles occur less often, they still take place on our roadways with some frequency. Scooters, mopeds, motorcycles and other motorized vehicles offer less protection in the event of a crash and therefore the injuries sustained are more likely to be serious. Our thoughts are with the family of Gypsy McEntire in this tragic Marion County crash.
