FHP: Motorcyclist Killed in Overnight Crash

 

The driver of a motorcycle was killed Saturday night on Tomoka Farm Road after a Ford Bronco turned into his direct path, Florida Highway Patrol said.

Chadwick Vogt, 40, of Port Orange was heading south on Tomoka Farms Road in Volusia County, when he attempted to turn left onto Ludlow Boulevard, traveling into the direct path of Ernest A. Smith, 59, of Deltona.

Smith was traveling north on Tomoka Farms Road on a 2007 Honda motorcycle, just after 9:30 p.m.

Troopers said, the front of Vogt’s 1990 Ford Bronco struck the front of the Honda motorcycle and Smith was ejected onto the roadway.

Smith, who was wearing a helmet, died at the scene.

Toxicology results are being awaited to determine whether alcohol played a role in the crash.

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