We wish to extend our thoughts and sympathies to the family of Nicholas Bonaimo in this tragic Pasco County motorcycle crash. Motorcycles are the deadliest mode of transportation in Florida and account for more fatal crashes than any other type of motor vehicle. Many motorcycle crashes are caused when drivers fail to yield the right of way or are otherwise negligent.
