The driver of the truck was not hurt in the accident. At this time, there is no word on whether any charges are expected to be filed and no further information is available.

Motorcycle accidents in Florida claim the lives of more than 500 people annually. Although motorcycles only account for about 3% of all registered motor vehicles in our state, they make up approximately 15-20% of all reported fatalities in traffic accidents. The chances of being seriously injured or killed in a Florida motorcycle crash are far greater than for other types of motor vehicles.
