Troopers said the driver of the car — a 36-year-old DeLand man who was seriously injured in the crash — could not see the dirt bike because it did not have lights equipped to it. Additionally, troopers said the Altamonte Springs man was not wearing a helmet, and that he was ejected from his vehicle in the crash.

The man was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead, troopers said.

The fatal crash is still being investigated.
