A 29-year-old motorcyclist from Lake Worth was killed Friday afternoon after he was run over by a tractor trailer in Boca Raton, police said.

According to the Boca Raton Police Department, a boxed trailer was stopped in the southbound lanes of Congress Avenue north of Yamato Road when Daniel Wilson stopped in his motorcycle in the front right corner of the trailer.

As traffic began to move, the front of the trailer crashed with the motorcycle, pushing it forward and ejecting Wilson, police said.

The right tires of the trailer then ran over Wilson, a release said.

Wilson was taken to Delray Medical Center where he later died.
