ORANGE PARK, Fla. (AP) - Authorities say a Florida motorcycle deputy has died two days after a crash with a truck.

Clay County Sheriff Darryl Daniels announced during a news conference that Deputy Ben Zirbel died at a hospital late Tuesday. He had been left in critical condition after the Sunday crash.

Officials say Zirbel had been working traffic patrol in Orange Park when a truck pulling a utility trailer turned in front of him.

The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating the crash.
