A motorcyclist who was rear-ended by another driver died of her injuries at Delray Medical Center early Friday.

Ingrid Eva Noon, 51, of Boca Raton, was traveling west on Southwest 18th Street on her Kawasaki Vulcan, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office. Shortly after 2 a.m., a Boca Raton man identified as Richard Dorfman was traveling at high speeds and didn’t see Noon on her motorcycle. He struck her motorcycle from behind near the intersection of Boca Rio Road, and Noon was thrown onto the windshield of Dorfman’s Tesla.

Noon was taken to the hospital and pronounced dead about two hours after the crash. Dorfman had minor injuries.

Dorfman, 39, had drugs or alcohol in his system at the time of the crash, according to the Sheriff’s Office report. The investigation into the crash is continuing.
