An Ormond Beach woman is dead and an Ormond Beach man is in critical condition after their motorcycle collided with a car on U.S. 1 in Flagler County. 

A 65-year-old man was riding the motorcycle north on U.S. 1 in the outside right travel lane, with a 66-year-old woman as his passenger, at about 10:02 a.m. Oct. 29  when a southbound sedan made a left turn from U.S. 1 to Karat Path, entering the northbound lanes right in front of the motorcycle. The motorcycle hit the car's passenger side door. 

The car, driven by a 32-year-old Palm Coast woman, had "failed to yield to [the motorcycle] while making the left turn," according to a crash report from the Florida Highway Patrol.  

Neither of the two people on the motorcycle were wearing a helmet, according to the report. The woman died at Halifax Health Hospital on Oct. 29.
