FHP: Motorcyclist dies after being rear-ended at toll plaza on Turnpike

LAKE COUNTY, Fla. — A 61-year-old motorcyclist is dead after he was caught in a chain-reaction crash with five other cars at a toll plaza on Florida’s Turnpike Saturday afternoon, the Florida Highway Patrol said.

David Kibble, of Tennessee, died at Leesburg Regional Medical Center after a Ford pickup driven by Christopher Garner, 23 of Texas, failed to slow down while approaching the toll plaza at mile marker 288 in Lake County, troopers said.

Garner rear-ended the cars, the crash report says, because he failed to stop while approaching stop-and-go traffic.

None of the other drivers involved in the crash were injured, according to the crash report.

Troopers said the crash remains under investigation and charges are pending.
