Troopers from the Florida Highway Patrol responded to a multi-vehicle collision in Brevard County last night that resulted in the death of a motorcyclist.
According to the FHP report, the crash occurred in the southbound lanes of I-95 in the area of mile marker 223 (State Road 46) in Mims.
The crash involved five vehicles: a 2012 Kia Forte, a 2017 Harley Davidson FLHTK, a 2020 Nissan Rogue, a 2023 Dodge Challenger, and a 2022 Harley Davidson FXLRS.
All five vehicles were traveling southbound on I-95 north of State Road 46.
Preliminary evidence shows the first vehicle was traveling southbound on I-95 in the inside lane. The driver failed to maintain the inside lane, ran off the roadway left, and struck the center median guardrail. V1 then rotated and came to a final rest, blocking the southbound lanes of I-95 facing west.
The other four vehicles became involved in a collision due to the vehicle blocking the southbound lane of I-95. The sequence of events that led to these collisions is still under investigation.
The 2017 Harley Davidson motorcycle rider (46-year-old male from Merritt Island) was pronounced deceased on-scene.
There was a roadblock for the southbound lanes of I-95 until 3:06 A.M.
The FHP did not release the names of the motorcyclists or drivers who were involved in the collision.
