Zephyrhills man dies in fatal motorcycle crash

The crash happened at 8:51 p.m. Saturday night when Near was riding northbound on U.S.-301 (Gall Boulevard) approaching State Road 39 (Paul S. Buchman Highway). According to the Florida Highway Patrol, a Ford F150 truck driven by Tammy Swanson, 44, of Zephyrhills, was headed southbound on U.S.-301 when she attempted to turn left onto SR-39. Swanson's truck then collided with Near's motorcycle. Near was taken to Florida Hospital Zephyrhills where he later died of his injuries. He was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash.
Since motorcycle crashes often end in serious injuries, victims need immediate help

Motorcycle accidents are more likely to end in serious injuries or death for the motorcyclist, since the rider is not protected from the force of a collision. When a motorcycle accident happens, the injured rider needs immediate, appropriate medical care, the accident needs to be investigated, and the insurance companies need to be informed.

When a motorcycle crash is caused by negligence, additional steps need to be taken to protect the legal rights of the injured motorcyclist or the family members of someone killed in a motorcycle crash. Go here to learn more about motorcycle accidents and claims.
