One man lost his life and two others received injuries in a deadly Seminole County accident that involved two motorcycles. The accident took place last afternoon in Seminole County and the Florida Highway Patrol was called to investigate.
The accident happened around 3:25 p.m. on State Road 46 and Old Geneva Road.
68-year-old Ronald Hagen of Deltona lost his life in a motorcycle accident, which happened during a heavy rainstorm on SR 46. He suddenly lost control of his bike due to the weather, which sent him into the eastbound lanes. He then slammed into a pickup truck. After the initial impact, another motorcycle collided with his bike.
The driver of the pickup truck and the other motorcyclist sustained injuries. The truck driver suffered minor injuries and the motorcyclist was seriously injured. The crash is still being investigated at this time.
State Road 46 was shut down following the accident, according to Highway Patrol.
About 72 out of every 100,000 motorcyclists are killed in these accidents every year, which is much higher than car accidents.
