The driver of the motorcycle was airlifted to a local hospital. His condition was not immediately known.
No other injuries were reported, Leitz said.
Leitz said off-duty firefighters from Melbourne and Cocoa stopped to assist the motorcyclist immediately after the crash.
The crash shut down northbound U.S. 1 between Post Road and Parkway Drive for a little over an hour and a half. All lanes were open at 9:10 a.m.
Congestion from traffic directed away from the scene caused persistent delays on Croton Road and Wickham Road.
