A Ballwin City, Missouri motorcyclist was killed in a car crash with a pickup truck on Interstate 95 in Flagler County, near mile marker 285, on July 13.

The motorcyclist, a 40-year-old man, was driving north on I-95 in the center lane at around 11:30 p.m. when the crash happened, according to a Florida Highway Patrol report. The pickup truck was in front of the motorcyclist in the same lane.

For unknown reasons, the front of the motorcycle hit the left rear side of the pickup, throwing the motorcyclist from his motorcycle. The 40-year-old landed in the paved median and died of his injuries, the report said.

The pickup truck driver — a 51-year-old Palm Coast man — pulled over onto the right shoulder. Neither he nor his three passengers were injured.
