The crash occurred just before 2:45 p.m. at Kanner and Cove Road east of Interstate 95, FHP said in its crash report.

“For unknown reasons,” the front end of a Chrysler Pacifica driven by Richard McGinnis, 34, of Port St. Lucie struck the rear of Ryan’s Yamaha scooter as both drove east on Kanner, the report said.

McGinnis sustained minor injuries in the crash and also received treatment at Martin South.
