A 2001 Chevrolet Blazer driven by Ronald L. Thomas of Palatka was southbound on US 17 at around 10:15 Sunday night when a 2008 Honda motorcycle rear-ended the Blazer. The SUV slid into the grass median and flipped, rolling over several times before coming to a rest. Thomas was not wearing a seat belt and was ejected during the rollover. He was flown to UF Health Gainesville in serious condition. The motorcycle also overturned several times after the impact, and the rider, Shane Eric Guidry of Palatka, was dead at the scene. Speed was apparently a factor.
