FHP Releases Name Of Motorcycle Fatality

October 4, 2011

Monday, the Florida Highway Patrol released the name of a 55-year old woman that died September 27 when she was thrown from her motorcycle off an interstate ramp to the highway 30 feet below.

Roberta Lee Williams of Pensacola  was northbound on I-110 headed for eastbound I-10  at 5:27 p.m.  when she failed to negotiate the curve for the ramp and struck a barrier wall. She was ejected over the concrete wall, falling 30 feet to the emergency lane of eastbound I-10.

Williams was transported to Sacred Heart Hospital where she was pronounced dead.

The FHP delayed releasing Williams’ name while they worked to locate her next of kin.

    I watched the entire wreck this day and I was one of the first to run to her and give her CPR. There was one lady who was in front of me running to her as well and we were the ones to give CPR first, not the two officers mentioned in the paper. I couldn’t wait to find out her name as I was very messed up from this accident and even took a different route to work for two days after, but I did make myself finally go past that area and am doing much better today. The papers didn’t mention that there was a kitten in this her hand alive and well when we got to her. I don’t understand why she was riding a motorcycle holding a kitten, but that may have something to do with the wreck. I pray for Roberta William’s family and think of Roberta daily.
