No safety in numbers this time... Hope everyone makes out alright...
OSCEOLA COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) -- The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating an accident involving a single vehicle and ten motorcycles that sent a total of 12 people to area hospitals.
FHP said the accident happened Saturday morning when a 2004 Hyundai driven by Tom Romeo, 52, of Dundee was eastbound on US- 17-92 east of Old Tampa Highway and drifted into the other lane at the same time as a group of motorcyclists who were heading westbound were passing.
The front of Romeo’s car hit the second motorcycle in line and caused a domino effect that wrecked the motorcycles behind it.
Four riders were seriously injured and flown to Orlando Regional Medical Center. Four others were taken to Osceola Regional Medical Center and the rest were taken to Florida Hospital Kissimmee.
The road was closed for several hours while it was being cleaned up and investigators combed the scene.
FHP said charges are pending and that the Romeo may have suffered some type of medical problem.
