A motorcyclist who tried to dodge traffic on a South Florida interstate as he searched for his keys was struck and killed Thursday night, police say.

The crash brought traffic to a crawl on the Palmetto Expressway near 37th Avenue.

Police say the motorcyclist, Michael Majewski, 30, was riding west on the Palmetto when he dropped his keys. He pulled onto the shoulder and called a family friend to report what he was about to do, according to investigators.

When Majewski walked out to the center lane to get his keys, he was struck and killed by a Cadillac. The driver stopped. Majewski died at the scene.
