Ballroom dancer allegedly almost killed motorcyclist — then drove off with bike still lodged to her car: cops
A professional ballroom dancer has been busted for allegedly crashing into a motorcyclist — and then driving away with the bike still stuck to the front of her car, according to cops.
Rebekah Makenzie Tate, 23, was arrested late Wednesday, three days after John Powell, 34, was found with “life-threatening injuries” after being knocked off his bike early Sunday in West Melbourne, Florida, police said.
“Instead of remaining on scene or calling 911, Tate can be seen driving away with the motorcycle still attached to the front of her vehicle,” the West Melbourne Police Department said.
Surveillance footage then showed her pulling into a parking lot “in an attempt to hide” — and then trying to “remove the motorcycle from underneath her vehicle,” the department said.
The professional dancer — who is also a pianist and harpist — was then seen making a phone call before getting picked up by someone driving a black sedan, according to the report.
