U.S. 92 now open after fatal motorcycle crash

DOVER -- A 50-year-old motorcycle passenger died and the 47-year-old cycle driver was seriously injured in an early morning crash on U.S. 92 at Pinebrook Place, according to Florida Highway Patrol.

Troopers said Paul David Gatta of Thonotosassa was traveling east on U.S. 92 and, for unknown reasons, drove off the road onto the northbound shoulder about 4:15 a.m.

Gatta's motorcycle overturned in a ditch parallel to the road and struck a chain link fence before coming to a stop. Both Gatta and his female passenger, Angela Maria Fattarusso, of Plant City, were thrown off the bike.

Gatta was flown to Tampa General Hospital in serious condition, and Fattarusso died at the scene.
The intersection of U.S. 92, which was closed in both directions for several hours, is now open.

Damn. That time of night, 'driver' probably fell asleep. Hopefully he makes it. RIP to the passenger.

Ride safe out there guys and gals.

Could have been an animal crossing the road. Maybe he had a blowout...the rear tire looks flat. Sad, though.

i can narrow it down to:

alcohol
deer/fox/boar crossing the road.
debris they tried to avoid
driver dozed off a bit.
seizure? highly unlikely.

Could be a combination of two or more of those as well. Anyone know if they were wearing any gear?

RIP
