SEFFNER — A motorcyclist died Tuesday after colliding with a sport utility vehicle and being thrown from the bike, authorities said.
At 4:52 p.m., Keith Richard Shontz, 49, of Valrico was riding west on State Road 574 just east of Kingsway Avenue when an SUV turned left into his path, according to a Florida Highway Patrol report.
