One of the two teens who was hit by a car while riding a bike Sunday died as a result of injuries Monday evening, according to Florida Highway Patrol.

Katelyn Zimmerman, 14, was cycling with her 13-year-old brother, Dylan Zimmerman, on the same bike, northbound on the right side of North Independence Highway near Forest Drive when a driver hit the teens.

The driver, Brandon Woodard, 40, of Inverness, was charged with driving under the influence; however, drunk driving was not the cause of the accident.
