A 39-year-old Palm Coast woman was killed on March 2 when an SUV turned into a motorcycle’s path in Volusia County.

The woman was a passenger on the motorcycle and the driver, a 39-year-old Palm Coast man, was also seriously injured in the crash, a Florida Highway Patrol press release said. The accident happened at around 6:11 p.m. at the intersection of Spring Garden Avenue and State Road 11 near DeLand as the SUV was driving east on Spring Garden.

The SUV did not stop at a stop sign as it turned left onto S.R. 11, turning directly into the path of the motorcycle, the report said. The motorcycle, going south on S.R. 11 collided head-on with the SUV.

The 39-year-old woman was pronounced dead at the scene and the 39-year-old man was taken to Halifax Health Medical Center with serious injuries.
