The man was injured severely, according to JSO. Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department responded and pronounced the man dead at the scene. A helmet was found at the scene, though officials are still investigating.
Lane Avenue was blocked for another hour while detectives collected evidence.
This is the third traffic fatality involving a motorcycle this year. There were four fatalities at this time last year.
