MOTORCYCLE COLLISION CLAIMS A LIFE IN MOUNT DORA

At approximately 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, December 8, a Ford Explorer was facing eastbound on State Road 46 and attempting a left turn onto northbound U.S. 441 when it was struck by a westbound motorcycle heading straight on S.R. 46.  The intersection is part of an ongoing construction project.  

When Mount Dora police officers arrived at the scene, they discovered the motorcyclist, James Carroll Monroe, 58, was unresponsive and without a pulse, so they immediately began CPR until the Mount Dora Fire Department paramedics could take over.  Monroe, an Ormond Beach resident, was transported to AdventHealth Waterman where lifesaving measures were attempted, but unsuccessful.

According to the police report, Monroe was not wearing a helmet.  


Three witnesses at the scene told police the motorcycle’s headlight was not on, according to the police report.  However, two of those eyewitnesses subsequently reached out to Mount Dora Buzz to state the headlight was on and that they hadn't been asked about the motorcycle's headlight previously.  

The driver of the Explorer was a Mount Dora minor with a learner’s permit. That driver was also transported to the hospital with unknown injuries.  As a result of the age, Mount Dora Buzz is not releasing the identity of the driver.  The Explorer also had two passengers, ages 20 and 15. The accident remains under investigation.

For the first 3 months after the date you received your permit, you can only drive during daylight hours.
After the first 3 months, you may drive between the hours of 6:00 am and 10:00 pm.
