Several vehicles were involved in a crash at I-75 northbound near exit 240 just north of Sun City Center around midnight.
A motorcycle was crushed and the driver was taken to the nearest hospital. According to witnesses the motorcycle was trying to change lanes when it struck one of the vehicles traveling northbound on I-75.

Not sure... hard to tell what kind of bike it was.

Hope they are ok, but it did not look good.

Rider did not have an endorsement and from what I was told, owner had no insurance..Rider was not the owner of the bike. Rider was Sammuel, owner is Joshua according to the police report she showed me. I'll leave the last names out. This is messed up. Im a fellow rider with an endorsement and full coverage. A good friend/ Co worker of mine was involved in the accident and they only had the basic insurance and now she is without a ride and no money to fix her truck. Im trying to get her to get ahold of a lawyer to see what she can do about getting her truck fixed. You people that ride without an endorsement should get the hell off the streets. I dont wish any harm to fellow riders, but riding stupid will bite you in the ass eventually. Come on guys, lets ride smart and safe.....

Reading the report, According to witnesses, It stated rider was traveling at a high rate of speed weaving in and out of traffic and while passing a car clipped the front end of a car and thats what started the chain reaction of accidents.
