NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. -- A man and woman who were hit and killed in New Smyrna Beach are two of five people killed in the first three days of this year's Bike Week event.

Authorities said the couple was riding on one motorcycle near a gas station on state Road 44 in New Smyrna Beach Sunday night when they apparently turned into the path of a truck.

"It is awful," a witness told WKMG-TV. "Your stomach really drops. It is not something you want to see."

One of the victims was visiting Central Florida from Georgia and the other from Tennessee.

Also, officials said 61-year-old Amedeo Revellini was also traveling Sunday night in the wrong direction along U.S. 1 in New Smyrna Beach when he collided with the other motorcyclists. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Bike Week continues through next Sunday.

Eight people died because of motorcycle-related crashes during the 10-day event last year.
