A motorcyclist was killed after hitting a tree Monday afternoon in the Beachwood area in Jacksonville.
The Florida Highway Patrol said the crash happened on Beach Boulevard near I-295 at about 4:19 p.m.
Officials said the accident occurred when a van made a right turn from the Vystar Credit Union, at 11674 Beach Blvd., and improperly changed lanes hitting an oncoming motorcycle.
This forced the motorcyclist, a 29-year-old man, to lose control and hit multiple trees in the median. He was ejected from the motorcycle and later died from his injuries at the hospital.
The 63-year-old driver of the van was not hurt.
FHP said the investigation is ongoing and charges are pending.
