A 68-year-old motorcyclist died in a crash on State Road 100 March 10 after an 18-year-old driver in an SUV failed to yield to him while making a left turn.
The crash happened at 2 p.m. at S.R. 100's intersection with Bulldog Drive.
The 18-year-old, a Palm Coast resident, was going east on S.R. 100 and entered the left turn lane to turn onto Bulldog Drive, according to a report from the Florida Highway Patrol.
The motorcyclist — from Murfreesboro, Tennessee — was going west on S.R. 100 in the right lane.
The SUV pulled out in front of the motorcyclist, and the motorcyclist hit the SUV's passenger side, according to the report.
The Flagler County Sheriff's Office temporarily shut down the intersection and diverted westbound traffic down Bulldog Drive, according to a social media post from the FCSO.
The motorcyclist, who was wearing a helmet, was killed in the crash, according to the FHP report. The 18-year-old was uninjured.
