In Jacksonville, Florida, a mother of three and a pre-med student (Yvonne Roberts) died in a motorcycle accident that took place last week. Yvonne was riding the motorcycle on Lem Turner Road in the area near Trout River Boulevard on the Northside of town in Jacksonville, Florida. According to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, another driver (Latoysha Blankenship) turned her vehicle off Bayview Avenue and caused Yvonne Roberts to crash into the side of the vehicle. Yvonne Roberts suffered serious personal injuries as a result of this automobile / motorcycle accident. In particular, Yvonne Roberts suffered fractures to the pelvis, face, neck, and back. She also suffered a serious brain injury. Subsequent tests revealed that there was no signs of brain activity. The life of this 28 year old woman with such a bright future ended as a result of these injuries. The death of Yvonne Roberts is a loss for her family, church, and the community. The driver of the other vehicle unfortunately and in violation of Florida law fled the scene and was later arrested. The other driver will be entitled to representation by a Florida criminal defense attorney or the Public Defender’s office.
Motorcycles are common in North Florida and the rest of the State. Drivers should pay close attention and keep in mind the catchphrase “Watch Out for Motorcycles.” See
