Lakeland police and Polk County deputies are searching for a man in connection with the motorcycle crash near North Wabash Avenue and West Parker Street. The rider reportedly suffered serious injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The man is described as a young Hispanic male, approximately 5 feet 6 inches tall and 160 pounds, wearing a gray or white shirt and black pants. A red Chevy Suburban believed to be involved was reportedly abandoned on Emma Street. The man was last reported walking toward a nearby 7-Eleven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The description and direction of travel are preliminary. If you see someone matching it, do not approach or follow him. Call 911 and provide your location and what you observed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multiple callers reported that a red SUV left the scene. Its make and model have not been confirmed. A witness reportedly followed the SUV and is providing information to authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The motorcycle rider has reportedly suffered serious injuries. Their condition has not been confirmed. Roadways at the crash scene are shut down in both directions while crews respond and investigate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoid the intersection and allow extra time for travel. We\u2019ll share confirmed details as they become available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
