PALM BEACH COUNTY — A West Palm Beach motorcyclist died in crash with a semi-truck near Florida's Turnpike early Saturday, the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office said.
PBSO was dispatched at 4:26 a.m. after Wayne Gerald Doucet, who turned 39 Friday, was driving a 2022 Harley-Davidson Sportster westbound in the No. 2 lane.
A 2015 Volvo truck, driven by a 34-year-old man, was making an eastbound turn onto Okeechobee Boulevard from the Florida Turnpike.
The motorcyclist had a red traffic signal and the truck had a green traffic signal, PBSO said.
Doucet failed to stop for the traffic signal and impacted behind the steer axle of the semi-tractor at the fuel tank, PBSO said.
Both vehicles came to final rest in the intersection.
The motorcyclist was transported to St. Mary's Medical Center where he was pronounced deceased
