Altoona, FL (August 20, 2020) – On Wednesday afternoon, August 19, a teenager was killed in a fatal motorcycle crash at an Altoona intersection.
The Florida Highway Patrol confirmed that the accident happened as a local 16-year-old girl was driving north on a motorcycle at the intersection of Ravenswood Road and Treadwell Avenue. A sedan came through the intersection, which is when both vehicles collided with one another.
Paramedics and numerous other responders were immediately dispatched to the scene of the accident. They confirmed that the girl passed away at the scene of the accident due to traumatic injuries.
The 16-year-old male from Leesburg who was driving the sedan was not injured in the crash. He remained at the scene of the accident to cooperate with the police.
The investigation into the circumstances of the collision continues.
We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family of the deceased victim at this time.
