Marie Ellen Porter, 65, was the only person involved in the\u00a0crash\u00a0that occurred about 11:45 a.m. Wednesday on U.S. 98, north of Socrum Loop Road West in Lakeland, PCSO said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the preliminary investigation, Porter was driving a black 2016 Indian Scout motorcycle south on U.S. 98, PCSO said. That stretch of the road is a construction zone, and there was loose dirt on the freshly paved southbound lane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dirt likely caused the motorcycle to lose traction, and Porter lost control of the bike, PCSO said. As the motorcycle tipped, her head appears to have struck a road sign. She was not wearing a helmet, PCSO said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Porter died after being removed from life-support in a hospital Thursday afternoon, the agency said. The Traffic Homicide Unit investigated the crash from the Polk County Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
