The 21-year-old woman was riding with a 24-year-old Casselberry man, who also died in the accident on State Road 417 near State Road 528. Neither has been identified pending notification of next of kin.
The crash happened around 8 p.m. when the motorcycle, traveling at a high rate of speed, slammed into the back of a 2019 Toyota Camry driven by 58-year-old Keith Wilkins, of New York.
