Belle Terre, FL (August 26, 2019) - A 56-year-old man from Palm Coast was killed when his motorcycle collided with a truck on Sunday, August 25th. The crash took place on Ponce de Leon Boulevard near Belle Terre Parkway. 

Police arrived on the scene around 8:45 pm. Officers say that Stewart was traveling northbound on Belle Terre when a 2015 Dodge Ram pickup truck made a left turn onto Ponce de Leon. The driver of the Ram has been identified as 71-year-old Joseph Michael Scarpone. As the truck made its turn, the motorcycle collided with the truck before ending up in the median following impact. Stewart died at the scene of the crash while a 56-year-old female passenger was taken to the hospital with critical injuries.

The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating the crash and it is unknown whether alcohol played a role. Charges are pending against Scarpone at this time.
