The motorcycle driver, a 52-year-old man from Ponte Vedra Beach, died as a result of the collision, according to the agency. The press release stated he had been wearing a helmet and his family had been notified of the crash.
The motorcycle traveling eastbound on S.R. 20 was approaching the S.R. 19 intersection Sunday afternoon, FHP reported. The SUV had been traveling westbound on State Road 20 as it approached the intersection, authorities reported.
