Default Rider Down- Rafael A. Colon

Motorcyclist run over, killed on Interstate 4
I was riding home and saw the mess on I-4. Bike pieces were everywhere and there was a sheet over the body!! RIP guy!!




TAMPA -- Two cars ran over a man who fell from his motorcycle on Interstate 4 early Monday morning, and neither stopped. The man was killed.

Rafael A. Colon, 32, of Mulberry, was going east on I-4 approaching Interstate 75 about 2:45 a.m. when he smashed his motorcycle into the back of a tractor trailer, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. Colon fell into the road and was run over by two other vehicles.

Details were sparse on those two vehicles. One was described as a new sedan with very dark tinted windows. The other was described as a dark passenger car.

According to the FHP, the drivers might not have realized they ran over Colon. Anyone who was going east on I-4 near I-75 about 2:45 a.m. and who may know something about the crash is asked to call the FHP at (813) 632-6859.

The better question is how do you run into the back of a big ass semi?

yup drove by it and saw the white sheet last night around 5. pretty gnarly, and saw 2 bikers near it with heads hung low. hopefully it was a quick death and not overly painful.

RIP

rip rafael. . . EVERYONE needs to pay better attention not just the people in cars, i agree how can you not notice running over someone but thats besides the point guys. if you are not alert stay off the bike. there has to be more to this, it isnt easy to just run into a semi.
