The incident comes less than two months after three deputies from the Palm Beach County motorcycle unit were killed in a crash.
"It is obviously something that we’re always constantly aware of but ultimately, there are a lot of motorcycles on the road, and this is something that could affect all drivers," Cordero-Stutz said.
