A Motorcyclist Is Killed, Another Critically Inured in Multi-Vehicle Crash on A1A Near Sea Colony

Last Updated: Friday, 7:01 a.m.

A multi-vehicle crash on State Road A1A near Sea Colony late this afternoon resulted in the death of a 53-year-old man and serious injuries to a 52-year-old woman, both of St. Augustine.

The crash took place at around 5:40 p.m. and Sea Colony Drive, according to an alert by the Flagler county Sheriff’s Office, closing A1A in that area.




According to a reconstruction of the crash by the Florida Highway Patrol, the crash involved a pick-up truck, an SUV and the motorcycle. The pick-up and the SUV were traveling south. The motorcyclists was traveling north. The SUV signaled, slowed and stopped to make a left turn onto Bay Drive. The pick-up truck failed to stop, rear-ending the SUV. The pick-up then rotated toward the center line, striking the motorcyclists just as they were driving by.

The pick-up was driven by a 42-year-old St. Augustine woman. She was not injured. The SUV was driven by a 56-year-old Palm Coast woman. She had two passengers, a 49 year old woman and a 21 year old women. None were injured.

The Florida Highway Patrol was dispatched to the scene and is investigating the crash.

The male rider was transported to AdventHealth Palm Coast where he died an hour after the crash. He has not been identified. A woman was flown to Halifax hospital in Daytona Beach. Flagler County FireFlight, the emergency helicopter, landed on Oceanshore Boulevard (A1A) to evacuate the victim who, like the man, had a Glasgow Coma Scale reading of 3, the lowest–and gravest.




Several Flagler County Fire Rescue were dispatched to the scene, as was the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office. The Sheriff’s Office was advising drivers to find alternate routes.

The county had experienced a lull in traffic fatalities since mid-May, when a man died in a single-vehicle crash in palm Coast’s Town center–a crash that appears to have been caused by a medical condition, not a traffic accident. There have been at least eight fatalities, including from medical conditions, on Flagler County roads so far this year.

    Accident at the intersection of Rymfire & Belle Terre too, about 5 PM as well multiple FCSI & a couple of Fire Rescue trucks. Growing pains of the new Palm Coast, FL plan with higher traffic overutilization.

    Looks like there is a turn lane into Sea Colony there…then how come the pick up hit the suv from behind as reported? That sadly cost the motorcyclist’s life! My sincere sympathy to his family…RIP to this innocent man.

    The turn was actually for Bay Drive, the image above needs updating.

    Has anyone heard the condition of the female that was life flighted? Wondering if she survived.

    Celia, I saw the picture and thought the same thing but then realized the picture was of the wrong intersection. Bay Dr. is actually one more street past the intersection in the picture going North on A1A. FL confirmed it with their comment that it was the wrong picture.

    Agree- the influx has brought traffic challenges beachside up & down FL’s east coast.
    We drove past/through this traveling A1A South shortly after it occurred and before they shut A1A down.
    Awful doesn’t even begin to describe😞
    So sorry for those who love these folks and the void they will feel.
    Truly reminds one that none of us is promised tomorrow.
    Stay safe out there this weekend, neighbors!❤️‍🩹

    So far so good with the woman in the accident. Keep her family in your prayers.

    Fatal accidents are one statistic that staly can’t alter. He has plenty of deputies for enforcement but the only time you see them is at a minor accident when five of them show up. An empty parked car on Old Kings isn’t going to deter anyone!!!

    That’s awesome news! My husband and I were the first on the scene and did our best to help them until the paramedics arrived. Do you know if she is still in Daytona Beach hospital?

    When we first moved here, A1A was 55 mph. I still don’t have a problem with that, and am disappointed that it dropped down to 50 mph. The real problem, as I see it, is that there is an incredibly large influx of tourists here on our little barrier island. This area was not meant to have such a huge transient population. These people do not have any concern for the area as it is not home to them. I’m an aggressive driver, but these people tailgate me! One of the worst things they do, is to not be patient enough to wait a whopping three seconds for a car in front of them to turn left, so they go off the road and around the turning vehicle. Meanwhile, the tailgater behind the vehicle going off the road doesn’t see the first, turning car and often comes extremely close to rear ending the vehicle.

    Large amounts of cars, at Bronx Pizza, are incorrectly, perpendicularly parked in the A1A right a way, forcing them to back out onto A1A when leaving. Other cars are making three point turns trying to find an area to park. Anywhere else on A1A cars would be ticketed if they were not parked parallel in the right of way, facing the flow of direction on their side of the road. Here, in the Hammock, it’s being ignored. It’s super dangerous to try to turn out onto A1A with all the wrongfully parked cars blocking the view of oncoming traffic. It’s a disaster waiting to happen. County enforcement, where are you?

    Poor judgement, a lack of patience and way too much transient population.

    Any updates this week on the lady air lifted? I’m an RN from Ky that helped the medics. She has been on my mind since the accident and the gentleman’s family.
