Teenager not wearing helmet when killed
B-Shift Public Information Officer Matthew Sara informed local Historic City News reporters that St Johns County Fire Rescue responded to a traffic fatality resulting from a vehicle-vs-motorcycle crash at approximately 9:50 p.m. last night.
The two-vehicle collision took place on SR-16 near the intersection of International Golf Parkway between a 2010 GMC Acadia and 1998 Harley Davidson motorcycle with a single rider.
“Crews deployed an advanced life support engine and rescue unit to the call; they arrived on the scene within two minutes,” Sara told Historic City News.
Trooper D. Tomlinson reported that the operator of the motorcycle, 17 year-old Scott A Milton of St Augustine, ran the red traffic light at the intersection of SR-16 and International Golf Parkway entering into the path of the second vehicle.
Sara reported that Milton was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. He was pronounced dead on arrival by paramedics.
The crash caused no significant injuries to the driver of the Acadia; 43 year-old Melissa C Marro of St Augustine, or her two passengers; 16 year-old Lily J Marro, also of St Augustine, and 16 year-old Alexis P Smith of Summerville, SC.
Marro’s vehicle sustained about $10,000 in damages, according to the Florida Highway Patrol report.
