FHP: Port Orange motorcyclist killed in head-on crash on Tomoka Farms Road

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — A Port Orange man was killed in a head-on collision outside of Daytona Beach Saturday morning, the Florida Highway Patrol said.

The 76-year-old man, who troopers have not identified, was driving a 2010 Honda motorcycle north on Tomoka Farms Road behind another motorcyclist around 10:10 a.m. when the crash occurred, troopers said.

According to troopers, a car traveling south drifted into the northbound lands near the intersection of Shunz Road, side-swiping one motorcyclist before hitting the 76-year-old head on, troopers said.

The man, who was wearing a helmet, died at the crash site, according to the crash report.

The driver of the 2018 Toyota sedan that drifted into the northbound lanes, a 41-year-old Deltona woman, suffered minor injuries and was taken to Halifax Medical Center, troopers said.

Troopers said charges are pending against the driver.

The other motorcyclist—55-year-old Victor Ramos of Port Orange—suffered minor injuries and was not taken to the hospital, according to the crash report.
