A 53-year-old Steinhatchee man was thrown off his motorcycle in a crash along Ellison Gamble Road in Taylor County, the Florida Highway Patrol said. His condition was unavailable May 6.
The man was on his motorcycle heading east, just south of U.S. Highway 19. He was traveling at a high speed when he hard-braked to make a left turn, losing control of the vehicle, troopers said.
The motorcycle headed into a ditch on the west side of Ellison Gamble Road, and struck a tree when the man was thrown off.
Troopers were assisted by Taylor County Sheriff’s Office, Perry Fire Department and Survival Flight.
