In the impact, one of the motorcyclists, a 35-year-old man, was “ejected over the side of the overpass and fell approximately 100 feet,” officials say.

He died from his injuries after being taken to Tampa General Hospital.

The other motorcycle driver fled the scene and left his passenger, a 30-year-old woman, behind, troopers say.
