For an unknown reason, the 37-year-old Harvey did not slow down, and the Infiniti struck the 69-year-old Arjoon's Audi, from behind, troopers said. The two vehicles veered into the left lane, hitting the two motorcyclists, stated the FHP.
Both riders were thrown from their motorcycles. Tamara Ennis, 28, of Shelbyville, Indiana, died at the scene. Omar Flores, 44, of Indianapolis, was taken to Central Florida Regional Hospital and was listed in serious condition.
Arjoon was treated at Advent Health for minor injuries, and Harvey was not hurt.
Both motorcyclists were wearing helmets, and both drivers had their seat belts on. Alcohol did not seem to be a factor in the crash, FHP said.
Charges are pending against Harvey.
