“There are no signs of impairment and investigators will be evaluating if speed was a factor,” JSO said.

Ahead of Thanksgiving, JSO is advising people to plan their route before hitting the road and leave with plenty of time so they’re not rushing.

This is the 138th traffic fatality in Duval County this year and the 25th involving a motorcycle, JSO said.
