WEST SAMOSET, Fla. — A man is dead and a woman was arrested following a crash involving a motorcycle in Manatee County, Florida Highway Patrol troopers said.
The crash happened just after 4:30 p.m. Tuesday on U.S. 41 near the area of 33rd Avenue East in West Samoset. Troopers say the 56-year-old motorcyclist from Bradenton was going east within the driveway access of a nearby shopping center. In this area, 1st Street is another name for U.S. 41.
At the same time, the 31-year-old driver from Bradenton was going south on the inside lane of U.S. 41 approaching the same driveway access.
The motorcyclist turned right onto U.S. 41 in front of the 31-year-old’s car. This resulted in the front of the car hitting the rear of the motorcycle.
Because of this, the 56-year-old man was ejected from his motorcycle and landed on the southbound inside lane of U.S. 41. The man died at the scene.
Troopers say the 31-year-old woman was arrested for driving a car without a driver’s license and was booked into the Manatee County Jail.
