The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office issued a warning Tuesday for drivers because of a spike in deadly motorcycle crashes in 2025.

Hours later, another rider was killed on a Jacksonville highway.

Tuesday morning, JSO posted on social media, saying this time last year, 16 motorcycle fatalities had been reported in Duval County.

So far this year, there have been 25, including one Tuesday night on State Road 9B at I-95.

“Even one life lost is too many,” JSO wrote.

JSO encouraged both riders and drivers to be careful on the roadways.

The Sheriff’s Office reminded riders to wear the right gear, slow down, watch the road surface and brake smoothly.

JSO also encouraged riders to take one of the free motorcycle safety classes offered by the department. The next one is this Saturday.
