ORANGE PARK, Fla. -- A motorcyclist died Wednesday evening after being hit by his wife who police said was following him on Wells Road.

 

The Florida Highway Patrol was called to the 1600 block of Wells Road near the intersection of De Barry Avenue where the fatal crash took place Wednesday evening.

 

Thomas Lee Robinson, 63, was being followed by his wife, Yvette Robinson, after the couple had been out together.

 

According to FHP, the motorcyclist stopped at a light and his wife, who was driving a Corvette, was not able to stop in time and ran into the back of his Chopper.

 

Robinson was thrown from his bike and then hit by the car, deputies said. The man died at the scene.

 

Investigators said Yvette Robinson was not issued a ticket but could be charged in the fatal wreck. They said she had not been drinking and called the crash a "horrible accident."

 

Part of Wells Road was temporarily shut down as officers worked to determine exactly what happened. The road was reopened by 10 p.m.
