OCALA, FL – One elderly motorcyclist was killed and another was injured when their vehicles collided on a rural stretch of highway about 10 miles northeast of Ocala on Tuesday.
The Ocala Star-Banner reports that a group of motorcyclists was traveling west in a single-file line on Northeast 90th Street Road near Baseline Road shortly before 11:30 a.m. that morning, when a 74-year-old man lost control of his bike during a turn, briefly left the roadway, and then swerved back onto it. In doing so, he struck a motorcycle operated by an 80-year-old man, which caused the vehicles to overturn.
Emergency responders took both men to Ocala Regional Medical Center, where the older rider died.
