Man arrested months after running over Florida beachgoer with e-bike: deputies

VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. - A man was arrested this week after he allegedly crashed into a Volusia County beachgoer with his electric bike and left the scene.

The arrest stems from an incident in May where deputies said Logan Knapnik ran over a man playing soccer on the beach.

Officials said that Knapnik was driving outside the traffic lanes and had exceeded the speed limit when the crash happened.
