A teen St. Johns County motorcyclist died Wednesday night after a crash with a tractor-trailer, officials said.
The 19-year-old and the truck were traveling northbound on SR 13, south of Otoes Place, when the tractor-trailer made a right from the left lane into a mall parking lot.
The victim, Florida Highway Patrol officials said, was in the right lane at the time and collided with the side of the truck.
The unidentified teen — who was wearing a helmet — was thrown from his motorcycle.
He was pronounced dead from his injuries after being rushed to a local hospital.
The driver of the truck, a 61-year-old man, and his 33-year-old passenger weren’t injured and were wearing seatbelts.
The case is still under investigation.
