The incident occurred when a motorcyclist estimated to be driving more than 100 mph collided with a vehicle at an intersection in Englewood on the night of Feb 8., per the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office.
After turning on his emergency lights and notifying dispatch about the crash, Musgrove approached the scene and saw that the motorcycle was “shattered” and heard crying from the vehicle it collided with, now approximately 25-40 feet away.
‘As he approached, he observed the motorcyclist, deceased, wedged into the rear window on the driver’s side of the vehicle. As Sgt. Musgrove rushed to check on the victims, he heard the driver yell to him, pleading to help her children," the press release explains.
Musgrove removed one of the children — a toddler named Ariel — from a booster seat after opening the rear passenger door of the vehicle.
