WINTER HAVEN, Fla. — The Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) said a 62-year-old Lake Worth man was killed in a crash the morning of June 9, while traveling eastbound on State Road 60 in Polk County.

FHP said the man was riding a motorcycle and passing by in a median safety zone when he struck the back of a truck. His motorcycle then became lodged underneath the truck.

The motorcyclist transported to an area hospital, where he died from his injuries.

"I know that my daughter is not the only one going through this difficult time, but she is not a criminal," said Lourdes Martinez. "She does not deserve to be there."

A Sarasota family is shaken up after being separated from their daughter. Federal agents with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested 22-year-old daughter, Maria Martinez. And now, they are demanding for her return.
