A Coconut Creek man and a juvenile female were killed when the motorcycle they were riding crashed into a car, authorities said Wednesday.
Simon Dias Do Santos, 21, was driving a 2002 Honda CB900F motorcycle north in the 1200 block of Powerline Road in Deerfield Beach on Oct. 18 around 7: 20 p.m. when the motorcycle struck a 2025 Nissan Rogue that was making a U-turn, according to the Broward Sheriff’s Office.
Santos was rushed to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries and pronounced dead a short time later, authorities said.
The juvenile female passenger traveling with Santos was rushed to the hospital in critical condition and died on Saturday, Oct. 25, according to BSO. Because of her age, her name was not made public.
Two passengers in the Rogue were also rushed to the hospital after suffering injuries listed as not life-threatening.
The driver of the Rogue, Douglas Hall, 65, of Nebraska, was not injured.
According to investigators, witnesses who saw the crash said Santos was speeding before the collision. The witnesses also said Hall had initiated the U-turn at a safe distance from nearby vehicles.
Detectives said excessive speed by Santos could be a contributing factor in the crash. Driver impairment is not considered a factor, officials said.
The investigation into the crash is ongoing, according to BSO.
