Englewood Motorcyclist Killed In 3-Vehicle Crash In Sarasota County: FHP

SARASOTA COUNTY, FL — A motorcyclist was killed Monday morning in a three-vehicle crash involving two other vehicles at a Sarasota County intersection, the Florida Highway Patrol said in a news release.

The crash happened around 7:40 a.m. at Jacaranda Road and Center Road.

The motorcyclist, a 40-year-old Englewood man, was traveling north on Jacaranda Road, weaving in and out of traffic, when he passed a Ford vehicle traveling in the same direction, FHP said.

At the same time, a GMC Sierra pickup truck driven by an 87-year-old Venice man was attempting to turn left from a private driveway across the northbound lanes of Jacaranda Road to head south.

The motorcycle collided with the pickup truck. After the initial collision, the Ford struck the motorcycle, troopers said.

The motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the scene.

The pickup truck driver sustained minor injuries, while the 29-year-old Ford driver from North Port wasn’t injured in the crash, which remains under investigation.
