Florida Highway Patrol is investigating a Friday night crash on LPGA Boulevard in Volusia County that killed a motorcyclist.
According to FHP, the crash happened around 5:41 p.m. Friday on LPGA Blvd near Derbyshire Rd. Troopers said a Yamaha motorcycle heading east on LPGA approaching Derbyshire was struck by a Ford Escape turning left to head southbound onto Derbyshire from the westbound lanes of LPGA. The front of the Yamaha motorcycle and the front of the Ford Escape collided, throwing the motorcycle’s rider from the vehicle.
Troopers said the motorcyclist, a 34-year-old Ormond Beach man, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Witnesses told FHP troopers that the Yamaha appeared to be traveling over the posted speed limit at the time of the crash.
The Ford’s driver sustained minor injuries and was transported to Halifax Daytona Hospital.
