The FHP said a 2015 Dodge Durango driven by a 50-year-old St. Cloud man was headed south on Narcoossee and failed to slow down or stop, striking the back of a 2006 Suzuki motorcycle.
The crash ejected both men off the motorcycle, which became embedded in the Durango, according to troopers, who said both riders were pronounced dead at the scene. The FHP identified one victim as a 56-year-old Orlando man. The other victim has not yet been identified, troopers said.
The driver of the Durango, which caught fire after the crash, was taken to a hospital with serious injuries, according to an FHP crash report.
