HUDSON
Hudson man, 53, dies in motorcycle accident
A 53-year-old man died Wednesday afternoon after he lost control of his motorcycle and was ejected, the Florida Highway Patrol said.
William Henry Alligood was driving east on Bolton Avenue about 1 p.m. when he swerved for an unknown reason, the FHP report said. The 1986 Honda motorcycle overturned and Alligood fell off the bike and landed on the northern shoulder of the road. Alligood of Hudson was taken to Regional Medical Center Bayonet Point, where he was pronounced dead.
The FHP is still investigating and has not yet determined whether alcohol played a factor.
