A fatal accident that occurred on Saturday night claimed the life of 19 year old Blue Scott, a young motorcyclist from Lakeland, Florida.
According to the authorities, Scott was riding his motorcycle across the County Line Road north just before 10 p.m when he collided with a Nissan Altima that suddenly pulled out of the parking lot.
The driver of the Nissan crossed into the motorcycle’s path, causing a violent collision. Scott flew from his bike and ended up colliding with the southbound lanes. Despite efforts to save him, Scott was pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities are still looking into the cause of the crash, though they do not suspect distracted driving. A helmet was found at the scene but it’s unclear if Scott was wearing it at the time. The driver in the Nissan was unharmed. The community still mourns the loss of such a vibrant young soul.
