Keysville, FL – A man has been arrested after deputies say he allegedly fled the scene of a fatal hit-and-run crash involving a motorcycle in Keysville, leaving one person dead and another critically injured.
According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, the crash happened Sunday, when deputies responded to reports of a serious collision involving a motorcycle. Investigators said Giovany Negron Talavera, 37, was pronounced deceased at the scene, while an adult female victim was transported to a hospital in critical condition.
Authorities allege the suspect crossed into oncoming traffic, causing the crash, and then fled the scene on foot instead of remaining to provide aid. Deputies said the individual was quickly located nearby and taken into custody without further incident.
Sheriff Chad Chronister said the driver allegedly chose to run rather than take responsibility. “This crash took a life and left another person fighting for theirs,” Chronister said. “Our hearts are with the victims and their family as they face this loss, and we will ensure those responsible are held accountable.”
The name of the suspect has not yet been released, and formal charges are expected as the investigation continues. Detectives are working to determine all contributing factors in the crash, including speed and impairment.
Anyone with additional information is urged to contact the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office.
