Investigators with the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office are investigating a motorcycle crash that claimed the life of a husband and wife in Oak Hill over the weekend.
According to a release, the crash occurred about 8:30 p.m. Saturday in the 480 block of U.S. 1 and Golden Bay Boulevard. The male driver and female rider, identified as Richard Parsons, 64, and Michelle Parsons, 52, of Mims, were traveling southbound in the outside lane on a 2015 black Harley-Davidson.
Due to unknown circumstances, the motorcycle swerved off the roadway on the right shoulder, striking a pole, throwing both riders off the Harley Davidson and into the road. Moments after the crash, a truck traveling southbound on U.S. 1 struck the female rider on the road.
The female driver of the truck remained on the scene, showed no signs of impairment, and cooperated with investigators.
There are no charges filed at this time.
