A Martin County firefighter-paramedic was killed early this morning when his motorcycle and a car collided at the intersection of Old Boynton Road and Military Trail west of Boynton Beach.

James Reeder, 42, of Stuart was driving north on Military Trail at 6:30 a.m. when Jeffrey Havens, of Margate, was attempting to make a right turn onto Military Trail from Old Boynton Road.

Reeder was wearing a motorcycle helmet. He was taken to Delray Medical Center, where he died. Havens suffered minor injuries.

Palm Beach County sheriff’s deputies ask anyone with information about the accident to call (561) 688-3688.
