A 32-year-old Deltona man on a motorcycle was killed after he collided with a minibike in a residential neighborhood, the Volusia Sheriff’s Office said.
It happened Sunday evening at the intersection of Utah and Captain drives.
The minibike stopped at the intersection, then failed to yield to the motorcycle and crossed into its path on Captain, causing a T-bone collision, VSO said. Both riders were thrown off their bikes.
The motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the scene despite wearing a helmet.
The minibike rider, a 17-year-old from Massachusetts visiting family in Deltona, was transported to an area hospital for treatment of injuries that were evaluated as non-life-threatening.
VSO said the minibike was unregistered, had no lights and was not street legal.
The 17-year-old does not hold a driver’s license and could face charges, VSO said.
The crash is under investigation.
