Bunnell, FL (January 21, 2019) - A crash between a motorcycle and a car in Bunnell left the motorcyclist critically injured. The crash took place just after 8:00 pm on Sunday, January 19th. Authorities with the Volusia County Sheriff's Office responded to Belle Terre Parkway and State Road 100 in reference to the crash.
According to reports from the scene, an Isuzu Rodeo with two occupants was traveling westbound on SR 100 when it attempted to make a left turn onto Belle Terre. The Rodeo collided with the motorcycle as the motorcycle attempted to proceed through the intersection. The motorcycle was pushed onto its side and landed in the roadway. Neither the Isuzu driver nor the passenger sustained injuries in the accident. The motorcyclist was airlifted to Halifax Hospital in critical condition.
Authorities are still looking into the crash.
Every hour, about 30 car accidents will be reported in Florida. Some of the most serious accidents reported in our state involve motorcycles. Motorcycles make up a very high proportion of serious and fatal crashes. A motorcycle does not offer the same protections as a vehicle when it comes to impacts with larger objects such as cars and trucks. A motorcyclist is also likely to be thrown from the bike during a collision and can suffer catastrophic injuries even if a helmet is being used. Other drivers should always be alert for motorcyclists and motorcyclists should also follow all traffic laws and safety precautions to reduce the likelihood of an unfortunate event.
