Angelica Lee Hall, 18, died at the scene of Thursday's crash, which happened just before 10 a.m., according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

Hall was a passenger on a motorcycle driven by Shay Daniel Lydon, 20, of Palm Harbor, investigators said.

The crash was so severe, Hall had to be extricated from the car, according to the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office. Hall was airlifted to Bayfront Medical Center with life threatening injuries. Lydon was taken to a hospital by ambulance .
