ORMOND BEACH -- A 56-year-old motorcyclist was run over and killed Friday morning on US 1 near Airport Road by a 76-year-old motorist in a Lincoln Town Car, the Florida Highway Patrol said.
David Holup saw the northbound car turning into his southbound lane and layed down his 1993 Harley-Davidson in an attempt to avoid a collision, but the car ran over him and his bike, witnesses told the highway patrol. He is the sixth Bike Week fatality.
Holup was pronounced dead at the scene of the 7:05 a.m. accident, FHP spokeswoman Sgt. Kim Montes said. He was not wearing a helmet.
Charges are pending completion of an investigation against the Lincoln driver, Lawrence Jacobson of Ormond Beach, Montes said.
