Wewahitchka cyclist injured in Eastpoint crash Sunday

A Wewahitchka motorcyclist suffered serious injuries Sunday afternoon in a collision with a sports utility vehicle in Eastpoint.

According to a report by Florida Highway Patrol Trooper J. Tallman, Frankie Lyn Wilson, 45, was traveling westbound on a 2012 Honda motorcycle about 1:30 p.m. near Second Street.

Robert Lee Kimberling, 62, of Eastpoint, was stopped in the road, facing south, before he proceeded in his 2002 Chevrolet SUV across the highway to park at a restaurant.

Kimberling’s vehicle “entered directly into the path of (the motorcycle),” wrote Tallman, with the cycle colliding with the SUV’s left front.

Wilson, who was wearing his helmet, was ejected from the cycle, and traveled over the hood of the SUV, read the report. He was transported by LifeFlight to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital, with serious injuries.

Kimberling, who was wearing his seat belt and suffered no injuries, was cited for failing to yield the right of way. Wilson was charged with no motorcycle endorsement.
