TAMPA, Fla. — A motorcyclist is dead after he collided with a light pole in Tampa early Sunday morning, the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) said.
Officials said a Harley Davidson motorcycle was traveling north on U.S. 301 approaching Stannum Street when the rider failed to navigate a curve in the roadway.
As a result, the motorcyclist left the roadway and hit a utility light pole.
The rider, a 68-year-old Brandon man, was transported to a local hospital, where he later died from injuries suffered during the crash.
