PANAMA CITY — A motorcyclist left his injured passenger at the scene after crashing into a concrete divider early Wednesday morning, authorities said.
The driver of a 2013 Harley-Davidson motorcycle was heading east toward the flyover of the Hathaway Bridge at about 3:30 a.m., according to Florida Highway Patrol reports. The driver lost control of the motorcycle and veered onto the shoulder of the roadway before crashing into the concrete traffic barrier.
The motorcycle overturned, sending its passenger, 29-year-old Johnathan Hubbard, of Nashville, Tenn., and the unidentified driver to the ground. The driver did not render aid to his injured passenger but, instead, left the scene on foot.
Hubbard was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries.
