MARION COUNTY, Fla. – A man fell off his motorcyclist after a rear-end crash and then was hit and dragged underneath an SUV on Interstate 75 in Marion County, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

Troopers said 26-year-old Don Nicholas Kemp was riding a Harley on northbound I-75 near mile marker 351 around 7:20 a.m. Thursday when, for an unknown reason, he failed to stop to accommodate for traffic in front of him and as a result, hit the rear of a Dodge Ram.
