A lady motorcyclist died after she was hit by a 78-year-old driver who failed to see her.
The 39-year-old Davenport woman was riding a 2024 Yamaha motorcycle at 11:22 p.m. Saturday northbound on U.S. Hwy. 27 at Sawgrass Bay Boulevard south of Clermont when she was struck from behind by a 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis which was also northbound on U.S. Hwy. 27, according to an accident report from the Florida Highway Patrol.
The 78-year-old man driving the Mercury Grand Marquis told an investigator he did not see the motorcyclist.
A 48-year-old Clermont man was driving a 2023 Tesla Model Y behind the Mercury Grand Marquis and could not stop in time to avoid hitting the rear end of that vehicle.
