JACKSONVILLE, Ala. — A motorcyclist was critically injured after a crash early Saturday morning on I-95 in Jacksonville.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, the motorcyclist, identified as a 50-year-old man, was on the right shoulder of I-95 near University Boulevard to help a stranded driver. At about 12:10 a.m., the man got on his bike and began to gain speed on the shoulder.
As he was gaining speed, a sedan driven by a 41-year-old man veered into the shoulder and hit the motorcycle, FHP says. The motorcyclist was thrown from the bike and landed in the road.
First responders took the motorcyclist to the hospital in critical condition. The driver of the sedan had minor injuries but did not go to the hospital.
