One dead, one seriously injured
A tragic accident in Flagler County, Florida has claimed the life of a 53-year-old man and left his female passenger seriously injured. The incident occurred on Thursday at around 5:45 p.m. at the intersection of State Road A1A and Bay Drive.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP), a 56-year-old woman from Palm Coast was driving a sport utility vehicle (SUV) southbound on A1A with a passenger, a 49-year-old woman from Carmichael, California. Behind them, a 21-year-old St. Augustine woman was operating a pickup truck.
The motorcycle carrying the man and woman was traveling northbound on A1A when tragedy struck. As the SUV's driver signaled and came to a stop in order to make a left turn onto Bay Drive, unfortunately, the pickup truck driver failed to notice that the SUV had stopped ahead of her. Consequently, she crashed into the rear of the SUV.
This collision caused the pickup truck to rotate into the center of the road where it ultimately collided with the motorcycle ridden by both victims involved in this devastating incident.
Tragically, upon arrival at AdventHealth Palm Coast hospital, medical professionals pronounced the motorcycle driver deceased as a result of his injuries sustained during this horrific crash. Meanwhile, his female passenger suffered serious injuries and is currently receiving medical treatment for her condition.
It is worth noting that both individuals riding on the motorcycle were wearing helmets at the time of impact; however, these safety measures were not enough to prevent fatal consequences for one rider or severe harm for their companion.
