A 24-year-old motorcyclist from West Palm Beach was killed Monday evening after colliding with a turning sedan at Forest Hill Boulevard and Pinehurst Drive, according to investigative records released by the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office Traffic Division.
The crash happened at about 8:20 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 9. Investigators said an 84-year-old Lake Worth driver in a westbound 2026 Tesla sedan was in the left-turn lane on Forest Hill Boulevard when he turned left toward southbound Pinehurst Drive. He crossed into the path of a 2020 Kawasaki motorcycle traveling eastbound.
The front of the motorcycle struck the passenger side of the Tesla, and the bike overturned onto the roadway. The rider, identified in the report as N. P., suffered catastrophic injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. Records show he was wearing a helmet. The driver was belted and was not hurt.
Investigators do not suspect alcohol or drug impairment, and no charges are pending. Next of kin has been notified. The case remains under active review by the Vehicle Homicide Investigation Unit under PBSO Case #26-109920.
The intersection is a busy suburban corridor, and the crash is a reminder for drivers making left turns across oncoming traffic on Forest Hill Boulevard to watch closely for motorcycles.
