PALM CITY, Fla. — A motorcyclist died in a crash with an SUV on Sunday morning in Palm City, the Martin County's Sheriff Office said.
Crews responded to the crash at 11:45 a.m. at 8626 SW Citrus Blvd., near the Treasure Coast Wildlife Center, the agency posted on Twitter.
Three people in the SUV were injured, and taken to the hospital, including 2 children who suffered minor injuries, the sheriff's office said.
An initial investigation shows the motorcycle was traveling at 120 mph when it struck the SUV.
Because the road is a straight shot for more than 7 miles, neighbors say this helps a vehicle reach high speeds.
One neighbor, who heard the crash, said the sound was unforgettable.
"You hear it you automatically know what it is," Hanna Timmons told WPTV's Ethan Stein. "It was gnarly, it was loud, it was traumatizing, it was bad."
The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating the crash.
Both lanes of Citrus were closed for several hours, the sheriff's office said.
