With Halloween falling on a Saturday this year, AAA, Safe Kids Worldwide and Central Florida residents are urging drivers, e-bike and e-scooter riders, and trick-or-treaters to take extra precautions as pedestrian and traffic risks rise sharply after dark.

According to FHP, a motorcycle was traveling southbound in the center lane ahead of a semi-truck. The motorcycle’s rider — a 23-year-old man from Ormond Beach — was speeding, causing the passenger to be ejected from the bike.

According to FHP, a 2026 Toyota Tundra was traveling southbound when the driver failed to move over for a marked FHP patrol car ahead. The patrol car was working in an active construction zone for a lane closure in the area. The front of the Tundra struck the rear of the patrol car as a result of the failure to move over.

Six people were killed Friday after a driver hit a Road Ranger’s truck on the Florida Turnpike, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. The driver of a Chevy Traverse was heading north near Weatherby Road in Orange County, as the Road Ranger was assisting another crash around 9:30 p.m., troopers say. The Florida Highway Patrol says the Road Ranger had been parked in the median with it’s lights on, and was attempting to move to help another vehicle when the crash happened.
