Two Separate Florida Motorcycle Accidents Have Tragic Outcomes

Two bikers were involved in two separate Florida motorcycle crashes on Wednesday.
In Brevard County, Justis Brewer, age 29, of Cocoa, was traveling eastbound at high speed on State Road 528 when he lost control of his motorcycle and, veering to the right, struck the guardrail on the south shoulder. Brewer was thrown off his bike and hit a barrier wall.
Emergency crews took the injured motorcyclist to Holmes Regional Medical Center where he was pronounced dead. According to Florida Highway Patrol Sgt. Kim Montes, Brewer was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. The accident occurred at 2:25 a.m. near State Road 401 and shut down all eastbound traffic for several hours.
Later on the same day, in Weirsdale, John E. Sandham attempted to pass a stopped vehicle on the right shoulder at the intersection of County Road 42 and County Road 25, when his 2001 Yamaha V-Star motorcycle struck a minivan. Sandham, aged 48, of Titusville, was airlifted to Orlando Regional Medical Center with life-threatening injuries. Sandham was wearing a helmet when he crashed.
Both the minivan driver, James A. Cole, 46, and passenger Paula A. Adcock, 32, were wearing seatbelts at the time of the crash and were unhurt. According to the Florida Highway Patrol, the crash happened shortly before 5 p.m. and shut down the state roads for more than two hours.
The motorcycle attorneys of Johnson & Gilbert wish John E. Sandham a speedy recovery and send the family and friends of Justis Brewer their most sincere condolences.
