Posted on Dec 20, 2011

December 20, 2011 – Plant City, Fla. – According to the Plant City Courier&Tribune, the intersection of South Alexander and West Grant Streets was the site of a fatal motorcycle accident after a van and bike collided on Thursday, December 8.

The Ford van driven by a 90-year-old Plant City resident crashed into the driver of a 2005 Honda motorcycle while making a left turn onto West Grant Street at 11:40 a.m. The motorcyclist was thrown from his bike and while he was wearing a helmet he still sustained severe head injuries later causing him to die.

The driver of the van wasn’t injured and it isn’t known if the driver was ticketed by police.

If you, or a loved one, has been injured or involved in an accident on a motorcycle you may be able to file a personal injury claim to recover compensation for any damages that occurred. Don’t let the negligence of another driver affect your rights as a victim. An attorney can look at the details of your case and guide you through the process.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's 2008 Florida Crash Statistics, there were 2,978 fatalities as a result of car accidents in Florida.
