PINELLAS COUNTY, Fla. — A 19-year-old from Largo died of his injuries after being ejected from a motorcycle Thursday morning, according to Florida Highway Patrol.
The incident happened around 9:20 a.m. as the 19-year-old was traveling westbound on the Roosevelt Boulevard exit ramp leading to Ulmerton Road, FHP said in a statement.
Authorities said the 19-year-old "failed to negotiate a curve," which caused the motorcycle to run off the road, eject the rider and travel off the overpass to its final resting spot.
The Largo man was taken to a nearby hospital and later died from his injuries.
