MARTIN COUNTY, Fla. — A 31-year-old motorcyclist died Sunday morning in Martin County after a wreck involving a pickup truck.

The Florida Highway Patrol said a 2011 Suzuki motorcycle, driven by Brandon Wilson, 31, of Port St. Lucie was traveling south on Pratt Whitney Road at 11:03 a.m.

A 2018 Ford F-150 was also heading south on Pratt Whitney Road ahead of the motorcycle.

The motorcycle continued in a southwest direction and hit a guardrail.

Wilson, who was wearing a helmet, was ejected from the motorcycle and came to a final rest in the bike lane southbound on Pratt Whitney Road. The driver of the truck was not hurt.

The report said charges are pending in the wreck.
