A Sarasota motorcyclist was killed in a crash Sunday morning, according to FHP

The 18-year-old man was riding a motorcycle east on County Road 610 – or University Parkway – around 1:30 a.m. Sunday in Manatee County.

As it approached North Cattleman Road, a truck was traveling north in the outside left-turn lane of North Cattlemen and was approaching the intersection of County Road 610, the Florida Highway Patrol said in a news release.

The truck, driven by a 35-year-old Sarasota man, began a left turn to head west on University Parkway. While the truck was turning left, the motorcycle entered the intersection and collided with the front of the truck on the left side.

The motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident. Neither the truck driver nor a 42-year-old male passenger, also from Sarasota, suffered injuries.
