A 21-year-old Palm Coast man was killed on Dec. 29 on the Interstate 4 exit ramp in Volusia County when his motorcycle hit a guardrail and he was thrown from the vehicle.
The man was driving behind a semitruck in the right lane on the eastbound I-4 exit towards I-95 northbound when the accident happened, according to a report from the Florida Highway Patrol. The 21-year-old attempted to pass the truck on the outside shoulder, the report said, when the motorcycle suddenly lost control and hit the guardrail, throwing the rider from the vehicle; he came to rest on the outside shoulder.
The man's motorcycle then veered into the roadway and hit the side of a Chrysler van carrying four people from Jacksonville, the report said. The motorcycle landed in the Chrysler van's path and was hit by the van. No one in the van was injured.
The motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the report, and crash remains under investigation.
