An Auburndale man was killed Friday evening after a failed attempt at passing in a no-passing zone ended in a fiery crash, troopers said.
The Florida Highway Patrol said at 8:57 p.m., a 27-year-old motorcyclist was driving north on SR-39 in Pasco County at a high speed when he tried to illegally pass multiple cars.
However, this led to the man crashing head-on into a Jeep Grand Cherokee driven by a 17-year-old from Plant City.
According to troopers, the motorcyclist ended up ejected from his vehicle and into an embankment where he died. His motorcycle flipped and crashed into a guardrail before catching fire.
The driver of the Cherokee and his passengers, also teenagers, suffered minor injuries.
