A motorcyclist was killed on County Road 545 on Monday, after being struck by an SUV, Florida Highway Patrol said.

The crash occurred around 2:00 p.m. near Sinclair Road in Osceola County.

Neither Feng, nor a 15-year-old passenger, sustained any injuries as a result of the crash.

Troopers said, the crash remains under investigation and charges are pending.
