An 80-year-old man from Palm Coast riding a Tri Glide Harley Davidson north on State Road A1A in Flagler County was killed in a chain-reaction accident on Wednesday, Jan. 7, 2026, at about 12:19 p.m., the Florida Highway Patrol reported.
The crash involved four vehicles: a GMC Sierra pickup truck, a Tri Glide motorcycle, an Electra Glide motorcycle, and a Freightliner propane truck, all traveling north on SR A1A. The propane truck and both motorcycles came to a stop in the northbound lane of SR A1A.
The GMC Sierra pickup truck, driven by a 43-year-old Palm Coast man, was pulling a concrete pump when he ran into the back of the Tri Glide Harley Davidson motorcycle, which was being driven by the 80-year-old man from Palm Coast.
The Tri Glide then struck the Electra Glide Harley, which was being driven by a 58-year-old man from Ormond Beach. Then, the GMC Sierra struck the rear of the Freightliner.
The driver of the Tri Glide was pronounced dead at the scene. The motorcycle rider from Ormond Beach suffered serious injuries, according to FHP.
