TAMPA, Fla. — A motorcyclist fell from a Tampa overpass in what is being called a fatal hit-and-run involving another motorcycle.
It happened at about 3:30 p.m. on Friday at EB I-4 at 50th St.
According to FHP, two motorcycles were traveling EB on I-4 when they collided and traveled to the outside shoulder. One motorcycle was able to come to a controlled stop, but the second motorcycle, a Yamaha, collided with the barrier wall and the driver was ejected over the side of the overpass. That driver, identified as 35-year-old Eric Jordan, fell about 100 feet onto 50th St. and died at the hospital.
The driver of the other motorcycle left a passenger at the scene, then took off. Authorities identified him as 29-year-old Aaron Davis on Saturday. The passenger was 30-year-old Amy Jones.
The incident remains under investigation. FHP says charges are pending the outcome of the investigation.
