An 18-year-old Palm Coast motorcyclist is dead after he hit a deer, was thrown from his motorcycle and then hit by a passing car.
The accident happened in the left westbound lane of State Road 100, just west of the Briarwood Drive intersection, at 9:39 p.m. on Sept. 22, according to a Florida Highway Patrol crash report. The deer ran out in front of the motorcycle, which hit the deer, and sent the driver into the air.
The 18-year-old landed in the left lane and was hit by a sedan going west in the left lane. The driver and passengers of the sedan did not know the motorcyclist was there, and the sedan's front center and right bumper hit the rider, the report said. The sedan stopped in the left turn lane after hitting the victim.
