The impact sent the rider airborne and struck the Lexus’ windshield at the roof line. He continued over the top, breaking the sunroof, then hit the trunk before falling to the ground.
 
Flores continued eastbound and knew she had hit something, but didn’t know what it is, officials said. So she turned around the found the rider lying in the roadway.
 
Responding paramedics pronounced the rider dead at the scene. His identity has been withheld pending family notification.
 
Flores stopped west of Moffet Street on the shoulder of Service Road and cooperated with officials.
 
Investigation of this fatal incident is still ongoing.
