Fort Myers, FL : Daron Scherr, 46, killed, and Windy Lethbridge, 48, injured in motorcycle crash at Summerlin Road and Kelly Cove Drive in Fort Myers on Friday night, AUG 7, 2015

One man is dead and a woman seriously injured after a fatal crash in Fort Myers on Summerlin Road and Kelly Cove Drive Friday night. Florida Highway Patrol says a Honda CRV was traveling westbound on Summerlin Road. The Honda then turned right onto Kelly Cove Drive attempting to make a U-turn. During this time a motorcycle was also going Westbound on the outside lane of Summerlin Road. The motorcycle tried dodging the collision but crashed into the left side of the Honda.


The motorcyclist that died is being identified as 46-year-old Daron Scherr. The passenger is being identified as 48-year-old Windy Lethbridge.

Mike Dornseif lives near the intersection. He's driven motorcycles, scooters and bikes for nearly 60 years. "It's very hard to judge the speed of vehicles coming this way. You have to be very defensive. It's not so much what you're doing as what the vehicles around you are doing," Dornseif says.

Barry Greenwood rides along Summerlin Road to work everyday. He says he doesn't feel safe near the busy roadway. "As a biker, you have to be careful around here. This is two lanes of traffic and as you can see they're doing 45 and you get the occasional 50 (miles per hour).

Windy Lethbridge is recovering at Lee Memorial Hospital. The Florida Highway Patrol says alcohol was not a factor in this crash.
