KISSIMMEE -- Two motorcyclists are dead and two drivers on the run after two separate crashes in Osceola County Sunday.

Investigators with the Florida Highway Patrol said a Kissimmee man died after he was intentionally hit by a van while riding his motorcycle on Osceola Parkway, at Briarwood Drive.

Witnesses told troopers them a white van intentionally turned into the biker after some sort of altercation on the road, causing Raul Nogueras, 42, to lose control and crash. Nogueras was pronounced dead on the scene.

Troopers said the van that took off was a white Ford Windstar or Chevy Astrovan, with possible damage on the right side.

Four hours earlier, troopers said another biker was killed in a crash not far away, at the Interstate 4 exit ramp to the Osceola Parkway.

Investigators said Ross Dale, 20, of Texas, lost control while riding with another biker. Dale was killed, and the other motorcyclist left the scene.

Troopers said their investigation to the two unrelated crashes was ongoing.
