Melbourne, FL (August 17, 2019) - A man on a motor scooter was killed when he was involved in a crash with a vehicle in Melbourne. The crash happened on Wednesday, August 14th, on Wickham Road.
Police responded to the crash just before midnight. Reports indicate that 57-year-old Robert Luther was riding a motor scooter when a 29-year-old man driving a Pontiac Grand Am pulled into his path. The driver attempted to avoid the crash but was unsuccessful. Luther was taken to Holmes Regional Medical Center, where he passed away from his injuries on Thursday. The driver, who has not been identified, remained at the crash scene and cooperated with authorities.

Fatal car accidents take place in Florida around eight times per day. Those riding motor scooters, motorcycles, mopeds, and other two-wheeled vehicles are in danger of being involved in a serious or fatal crash at any moment. These vehicles offer little protection from the force of a crash with a larger and more powerful vehicle. Even crashes that occur at lower speeds are frequently serious or deadly when they involve these types of vehicles.
