This crash makes the eighth motorcycle fatality in Duval County this year.

The president of J-Vill Riders Club, Thomas Parmley says this is a scene he knows all too well.

Parmley said, “We lost 8 to 10 people in our club. On motorcycles alone, they are based on not paying attention on the road. Going on unfamiliar roads – get hit by somebody who is turning in front of them. People in cars don’t know what’s going on around them.”

Police reported a Dodge SUV was driving southbound on the Southside Blvd service road followed by a small Nissan SUV.

The Dodge SUV driver made a left-hand turn in front of a motorcycle traveling on the northbound side near Auburn Glen apartments. Michael Cariola was a witness

Witness Michael Cariola said, “This is crazy. I ride a motorcycle so this hits home right there.”
