2016 is proving to be deadly for bikers in St. Petersburg and the Tampa Bay area, which over the past two weeks has seen a rash of fatal biker wrecks.
In Hillsborough, Pinellas and Pasco counties, nearly 20 wrecks in which motorcyclists were killed were reported over the first 10 weeks of the year. That’s a biker fatality every four days and if that trend continues, 91 motorcyclists will be killed over the course of the year.
The three-county region averages about 73 bikers killed each year, most of which occur on the vehicle clogged roads of Hillsborough and Pinellas counties, state statistics show.
