A 23-year-old motorcyclist suffered critical injuries Tuesday morning when he ran into the back of a JTA bus on I-95 southbound near Emerson Street, the Florida Highway Patrol said.
The crash shut down all lanes of I-95 SB for four hours during rush hour. The lanes reopened just before 10:30 a.m. after they closed around 6:30 a.m., forcing traffic to be diverted onto Emerson Street.
Troopers said that after the motorcycle hit the back of the bus, it ricocheted into a concrete barrier and flipped on the highway.
It’s unclear if the rider was wearing a helmet. He was taken to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries.
The 43-year-old woman driving the bus was not hurt. She was wearing a seat belt. No passengers were on the bus at the time of the crash.
