Michael and Tracy Arnold loved to zoom around the rural roads and paths of southeastern Hernando County with horsepower at the their fingertips.
On Thursday night, authorities say, the couple died together in a violent collision between her dirt bike and his all-terrain vehicle on a two-lane road, a short distance from their home.
The crash happened about 9:35 p.m. on Hayman Road east of Deepwell Drive, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Tracy Arnold, 40, was riding her YZ85 Yamaha dirt bike in one direction while Michael Arnold, 36, was riding a Yamaha Banshee ATV the opposite way, according to an FHP incident report. The vehicles collided — nearly head-on — and both riders were thrown from their vehicles. Both died at the scene.
Neither was wearing a helmet.
FHP Sgt. Steve Gaskins said troopers were still investigating Friday and that some basic questions remained unanswered. Investigators had not confirmed which direction each of the Arnolds was traveling at the time of the crash. Alcohol had not been ruled out as a factor. Toxicology tests were pending. Full story...
