TAMPA, Fla. – A 34-year-old Bushnell man was killed this morning in a multi-vehicle crash on I-275, just north of Bearss Avenue. The fatal incident, which occurred at approximately 10:53 AM, involved a motorcycle and two other vehicles.
According to Florida Highway Patrol, the motorcyclist, operating a Harley Davidson, was traveling southbound on I-275. He was reportedly attempting to change lanes when his motorcycle collided with a Nissan Rogue driven by a 40-year-old Tampa woman.
