LEVY COUNTY, FL (352today.com) — A 66-year-old Williston man was killed Saturday night in a crash involving a motorcycle and a sedan at the intersection of US 27-Alt and NE 140th Court, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
The crash happened around 9:50 p.m. when a sedan driven by a 26-year-old Bronson man was heading south on NE 140th Court. At the same time, a maroon trike motorcycle was traveling south on US 27-Alt, approaching the same intersection.
