HOLLY HILL, Fla. — A Hornell man has been killed in a single-vehicle motorcycle crash in Florida.

According to reports from the Florida Highway Patrol, one person lost their life when a motorcycle driven by a 54-year-old Hornell resident left the roadway and struck a utility pole. The deceased was later identified as Dave Remchuk.

The incident took place Monday night at about 8:10 p.m. near Flomich and State avenues in the Daytona Beach suburb of Holly Hill.

A police press release on the crash shed little light on the circumstances. The police release said that Remchuk’s 2005 Honda was westbound on Flomich Avenue when it left the roadway for unknown reasons and struck a pole, throwing the rider from the motorcycle. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Further information was not immediately available. The fatal crash remains under investigation.

Two people are being airlifted after a crash involving a motorcycle and a truck in Titusville, police said.

At about 7 p.m. Thursday, Titusville police responded to the intersection of Angela Lane and South Street in Titusville following reports of a crash between a truck and a motorcycle with two riders.

The occupants of the truck were unhurt but the people on the motorcycle sustained non-life threatening injuries, a spokesperson for the Titusville police said. They were airlifted to a local hospital.

Police have not yet released the identities of those involved or details surrounding the crash.

Officers have cleared the crash scene and all lanes are currently open.

WACO – May 17, 2018, will mark three years since that deadly biker brawl at the Twin Peaks restaurant, and despite more than 150 people facing criminal charges, there has not been a single conviction.

“The only thing I can think of they don’t want to try these cases,” said Greg Davis, former First Assistant District Attorney in McLennan County. “As a prosecutor, the cases that you really want to try, you try those cases quickly. The cases you have doubts about, you put those cases off.”

Davis spent several years as an administrator and one of the top prosecutors in Waco, but said he quit just before the shootout in May 2015 that left nine dead and 20 hurt.

Davis, who is speaking out for the first time, accuses District Attorney Abel Reyna of letting friends and campaign donors arrested for DWI and drugs go free. Yet, Davis explained, Reyna continues to pursue other cases like charges against dozens of the bikers despite flimsy evidence.

He detailed his concerns in an affidavit, naming several specific criminal cases in which he accused D.A. Reyna of “preferential treatment” in dismissing cases filed against friends and donors.

JUDGE FOR YOURSELF!!! He causes an horrific accident and leaves the scene.

Andrew Flanigan was taken into custody about 5:40 p.m. Tuesday and booked on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, reckless driving and hit- and-run, according to CHP Southern Division Assistant Chief Mark Garrett.

The confrontation and crash, part of which was recorded and went viral on social media, occurred around 5:45 a.m. on the southbound Antelope Valley. Investigators used the video to help zero in on Flanigan within a week after the crash, but did not consider him an ongoing public safety or flight risk and did not arrest him until they felt they had built a significant case.

The video showed the motorcyclist pulling up to the driver’s side of a Nissan sedan in the far left lane of the freeway, then kicking a leg at the vehicle. The driver of the Nissan swerved toward the left, into the motorcyclist, who was pushed toward the center divider, but managed to maintain control of the bike.

The Nissan then swerved to the right, but the driver lost control of the vehicle and swung quickly back to the left, slamming into the center divider in front of the motorcyclist, who slowed to avoid the crash. Flames were briefly seen under the front of the Nissan, which bounced off the divider and swerved back into traffic, broadsiding a white Cadillac SUV, which flipped over and wound up on its roof.
