4 Motorcyclists Killed in 2 Separate Volusia County Crashes

Al R. Hopkins was traveling eastward on Taylor Road when he decided to turn left into the Westport Square shopping plaza. His pickup truck moved into the path of a westbound motorcycle that crashed into its right side.

The motorcyclists, Randall D. Allen, age 40, and his wife Laura J. Allen, age 44, were both thrown from the motorcycle and were pronounced dead on the scene. The accident occurred Sunday at 5:30 p.m. in Port Orange, near Williamson Boulevard. Both victims were from Apopka.

Port Orange Assistant Police Chief Wayne Miller declared that Hopkins, of Port Orange, was charged with two counts of DUI manslaughter, DUI, DUI with property damage, resisting arrest without violence, refusal to submit to a breath test and refusal to sign and accept citation.

The same day, State Troopers reported another bike crash on Interstate 4 near DeLand that killed Allison Sellers, 32, and Javier Remonsanzol, 34, both from Sanford.

When their motorcycle was hit by an SUV at 4:30 p.m., the driver, Remonsanzol, fell on the roadway and was struck by several passing vehicles, while Sellers was thrown onto the shoulder, according to Florida Highway Patrol spokeswoman Kim Montes. The SUV failed to stop and ran away. A Ford Explorer that might have been the vehicle involved in the crash was later found broken down, but the woman in the vehicle has not been charged yet pending further investigation, Montes said.

The attorneys of Johnson & Gilbert send their most sincere feelings of sympathy to the family and friends of the four victims of these tragic Florida motorcycle accidents.
