A British woman is dead and a Clermont man seriously hurt after a hit-and-run vehicle struck their motorcycle last night, the Florida Highway Patrol said.
Now traffic homicide investigators say the suspected vehicle is a 2000 to 20003 GMC SUV. It could be a Chevy Tahoe or a Chevy Suburban. It is silver and has damage to the left front, FHP officials said.
The left front headlight is broken and will probably not be working. Part of the left front bumper is also broken.
The crash happened a little after 10 p.m. at U.S. highways 192 and 27, on the Lake County side of Four Corners.
Dunkin R. Jackson, 53, of Clermont, was driving with his passenger on a Yamaha motorcycle when a gray or silver SUV struck the motorcyle on the westbound side of U.S. 192, FHP officials said.
Jackson was thrown into the center lane. His passenger, a British National who was not identified, was thrown into the path of the SUV. After the collision, the SUV continued on in the right lane and dragged the 50-year-old female passenger more than a quarter of a mile.
The SUV's driver was "swerving" and trying to dislodge the body from the vehicle, according to the FHP report. The woman's body was finally dislodged and the driver continued westbound on U.S. 192 toward U.S. Highway 27.
