Tennessee motorcyclist killed in six-vehicle pileup near toll plaza on Florida Turnpike in Lake County

A Tennessee motorcyclist has died as the result of a six-vehicle pileup Saturday morning near a toll plaza on the Florida Turnpike in Lake County.

David Kibble, 61, had been riding a 2014 Honda motorcycle at 11:45 a.m. near Mile Marker 288 when it was struck by a Ford pickup driven by 23-year-old Christopher Garner of Texas, according to an accident report from the Florida Highway Patrol. His truck also struck a 2007 Nissan Murano driven by 38-year-old Nickie Rivers of Tallahassee.

The pickup truck had failed to slow for traffic.

The chain-reaction crash also involved a 2015 motorhome driven by 52-year-old Juan Guzman of Boca Raton, a 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe driven by 33-year-old Angela Dziegielewski of Gainesville and a 2013 Chevy Cruz driven by Maria Hernandez of Austell, Ga.

Kibble was transported to Leesburg Regional Medical Center where he died of injuries suffered in the crash.
