BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. -- Two people were hospitalized after a motorcycle collided with a car outside Patrick Air Force Base overnight.

Investigators said the motorcycle was speeding when it slammed into a white car as it turned onto A-1-A. Troopers said two riders were thrown off the bike, which caught fire.

"The front tire separated from it and it came to a final rest on the west shoulder and then it caught fire," said Sgt. Robert Asbill, Florida Highway Patrol.

A-1-A was shut down for a while, but was reopened Monday morning.

The motorcyclists were listed in serious condition Monday morning, while the driver of the car suffered minor injuries.

The crash is still under investigation.
