HERNANDO COUNTY, Fla. — A motorcyclist was killed in a Hernando County crash on Saturday after running a red light, authorities said.
A 21-year-old Spring Hill man was riding a Honda motorcycle westbound on Spring Hill Drive at about 6:38 p.m.
A Hyundai Santa Fe, driven by a 43-year-old Spring Hill woman, was traveling southbound on Pinehurst Drive.
According to a Florida Highway Patrol report, at the intersection, the motorcyclist did not stop for a red light and collided with the Santa Fe.
The motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the scene.
The woman suffered minor injuries.
“This is just an insult.”
Florida’s new budget includes millions of dollars in pay raises for Florida Highway Patrol troopers after the state agency has struggled to fill positions and retain troopers. But an FHP advocate says the raises don’t go far enough.
