WEST PALM BEACH, FL – A tractor-trailer driver attempted to turn left from Southern Boulevard onto Lang Road, which resulted in a fatal T-bone crash that killed a motorcyclist.
The deadly T-bone collision happened around 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, according to CBS 12. The motorcyclist, operating a 2005 Suzuki GSXR 1000 motorcycle, crashed into the right rear-end tandem axles attached to the truck and succumbed to his injuries at the scene before 9:45 a.m.
