A 64-year-old Lake City man died Tuesday morning when he was hit by a tractor-trailer while traveling within a pedestrian crosswalk off the I-75 State Road 47 exit ramp.
According to a Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) release, a 58-year-old Melbourne man was driving his tractor-trailer north on the SR 47 exit ramp at 8 a.m. before coming to a complete stop at the intersection with SR 47. The cyclist was riding south within the pedestrian crosswalk when the driver of the truck turned right to enter SR 47 and collided with and ran over the cyclist within the crosswalk.
Emergency responders pronounced the cyclist dead on scene.
How awful…
