A 59-year-old man died Friday after his motorcycle crashed into another vehicle near I-75 in Manatee County, according to Florida Highway Patrol troopers.
- Crash occurred due to car not yielding right of way
- Dan Berner, 59, of Lakeland, killed in crash
Troopers report that Dan Berner, 59, was traveling eastbound on Moccasin Wallow Road (County Road 6) when his motorcycle struck a car that had pulled into the roadway in front of him.
The driver of the car, Donald Love, 72, was attempting to make a left turn onto Moccasin Wallow Road from the road at the end of the I-75 northbound off ramp, and did not see Berner's approach as he started his turn.
Berner's motorcycle collided with the left side of Love's 2009 Toyota Prius. Berner was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash, and died at the scene.
Love was cited for failing to yield the right of way from a stop sign. He was not injured in the crash.
