Motorcyclist Killed In Crash After Fleeing From Traffic Stop
March 25, 2024
A 59-year-old Escambia County man was killed in single motorcycle crash late Saturday night while exiting I-10.
The Florida Highway Patrol said the Pensacola Police Department attempted to stop the motorcyclist who was traveling at a high rate of speed. He fled the traffic stop, and PPD did not pursue him.
The motorcyclist later lost control on the exit ramp to Davis Highway and struck a concrete barrier wall and signpost before continuing into a wooded area. He was pronounced deceased at the scene.

4…Much sympathy to the Parents, Relatives, Friends of the man who was killed in this accident. Sorry for your loss.
I ride as much as possible and I see more cars and trucks running red lights its becoming a problem pinecone and 297 and on 29 the sheriff department need to do the job that they were hired to do for all motorist be safe out there just because the lights are green doesn’t mean go stop and look
Blaming the vehicle for a crash is like blaming the gun for a shooting. Most people who ride bikes drive cars too. It’s the operator Not the vehicle.
@ Missy in Beulah, did ya read the article at all? What would a cop do if they had been there? The motorcyclist won’t stop for law enforcement, just like the article read.
Trying to out run the FHP !!! Was it worth killing yourself even if you had a large amount of tickets or no license !!! I think not !! I’m sure the family of this person is really concerned and upset and I feel for them !!! Unfortunately this will continue to happen ti others that may think getting away is possible !! And unfortunately it didn’t happen in this case!!!
Prayers for his family.
Folks are quick to put up signs and stickers that say
“Watch for motorcycles”
What about us driving cars?
SOME of these motorcyclists act crazy on these bikes!
Zooming past cars in the middle of a 2 lane street, running through lights and signs! It’s terrible!
My husband and I had one zoom past us on Mobile hwy then he ran the light at Klondike Rd. Scared us to death! Where is a cop when you need them?!!!?
If you can’t be a responsible rider, STAY OFF THE BIKE
I do watch out for people riding, or driving a motorcycle. But lately, I’ve seen so many young kids speeding ninety to nothing down highway 29, or other places, and most without a helmet, and I just shutter to think that all it takes is one person to make one mistake, and you could either get hit, or loose control and be dead. I am so sadden to hear about this man loosing his life over nothing. Praying for his family and friends.
