The fatal incident occurred around 5:28 p.m. near the intersection of South Tropical Trail and Cone Road. Troopers say the motorcyclist was traveling northbound on a 2022 Ducati Superbike when an unidentified white Smart car began making a left turn from Cone Road onto South Tropical Trail, directly into the rider’s path.

The biker swerved to avoid the vehicle, lost control, and veered off the roadway. His motorcycle struck a concrete wall, ejecting him from the vehicle. He was pronounced dead on the scene. Authorities confirmed he was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash.
