It happens every year and every year we report that more people have died on our local roads.

Bike Week in Daytona brings motorcyclists from around the country. Some are wearing helmets, many are not since it is not required for adults in Florida to do so.

So far this week we have five deaths to report. In the first a man and a woman were killed in New Smyna Beach on state road 44 Sunday night. Unfortunately and for some reason their motorcycle turned right into the path of a truck that couldn't stop. One person was from Georgia and the other was from Tennessee.

Also on Sunday a cyclist was traveling on U.S. 1 in New Smyrna Beach. Unfortunately he was going in the wrong direction when he collided head-on with two other motorcycles. He was killed immediately and the two other people were sent to the hospital.

Bike Week continues through March 9th, next Sunday. Last year eight people lost their lives during the 10-day event.
