An Apopka man was involved in a deadly vehicular accident that killed a motorcyclist last weekend in Orlando, said Florida Highway Patrol.
On Saturday, August 27, at about 3 p.m., the Apopka driver, 52, was driving a 2012 BMW 5501 with a 40-year-old male passenger. The driver stopped at a stop sign on Pelee Street in the southbound lane at the intersection of University Boulevard in Orlando. The motorcyclist, a 44-year-old man from Winter Park, was riding a 2015 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R westbound on University Boulevard in the center lane approaching Pelee Street.
The BMW driver tried to turn left to go eastbound on University Boulevard in the direct path of the motorcyclist. As a result, the front of the BMW struck the left side of the motorcycle. The driver and passenger were not injured and remained on-scene.
The motorcyclist was transported to AdventHealth East Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
This crash remains under investigation. Florida Highway Patrol did not release names of the involved individuals.
