PINELLAS PARK, FLORIDA

A motorcyclist has died in three-vehicle accident in Pinellas Park on Saturday evening.

Around 10:51 p.m., Pinellas Park Police officers responded to reports of a serious injury crash at 66th Street and 78th Avenue.

A 16-year-old was traveling east on 78th Ave driving a 2008 Dodge Charger. She stopped at the red light and then for an unknown reason traversed the intersection while her signal was still red. She then entered into the intersection and was struck by two southbound motorcycles.

35-year-old Michael Kerr and 36-year-old Casey Hahn struck the left side of the Dodge Charger causing both men to be ejected from their motorcycles. Kerr sustained non-life threatening injuries and was transported to an area hospital. 
Hahn, who was not wearing a helmet, was transported to an area hospital.

Hahn died a short time later as a result of the injuries he sustained in the crash.

The roadway was closed for several hours while traffic homicide investigators conducted their investigation. The investigation is still ongoing.
