A man fell off his motorcycle and walked into another travel lane when he was struck and killed by a passing sport-utility vehicle late Thursday in Casselberry, police said.
The victim was riding south on U.S. Highway 17-92 near Live Oak Boulevard about 11:35 a.m. when he laid the motorcycle down on the road.
Witnesses told police they saw the man stand up, remove his helmet and walk over to another lane to “gather himself,” according to Sgt. William Nas.
