KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) – Two motorcycle riders were killed in separate hit-and-run crashes over the weekend in Osceola County.

The Florida Highway Patrol reports that two motorcycles were traveling on an Interstate 4 exit ramp Saturday when both riders lost control and crashed. FHP says 20-year-old Ross Dale was killed, but the other rider got back on his bike and fled the scene.

Early Sunday morning, FHP says 42-year-old Raul Alicea Nogueras was riding in a merge lane on a Kissimmee street when a van swerved into him. The bike went down and slid onto the shoulder, and the van drove away. Nogueras was taken to a nearby hospital but did not survive.

Charges are pending in both crashes.
