The first incident occurred on Jacksonville’s Westside off Roosevelt Boulevard. The second happened on the Southside off Gran Bay Parkway.

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office has not yet determined if the motorcyclists collided with each other.
“Remember, 55 miles per hour in the split second that you turn and look, you’ve already gone approximately 1000 approximately 100 yards, and in that 100 yards, anything can happen.
