A Madeira Beach man died in a two-vehicle crash on eastbound Interstate 4 near County Line Road early Friday, highway officials said.

At 3:13 a.m., according to the Florida Highway Patrol, Robert Lee Haas, 51, was traveling in the outside lane and tried to move to the center lane. During the lane change, his Suzuki motorcycle collided with a car driven by Payge Madeleine Heingarte, 19, of Cape Canaveral.

Haas then went off the road, hit a concrete barrier on the shoulder and flipped. He was ejected from the motorcycle and taken to Lakeland Regional Medical Center, where he died.
