Mims, FL (April 4, 2020) – Around 4:55 p.m. on Wednesday afternoon, a fatal motorcycle crash took place at the intersection of FL-46 and Tammy Drive in Mims, Florida.
The Florida Highway Patrol confirmed that a 28-year-old woman from Oviedo was headed westbound in a 2015 Honda Civic while the motorcyclist was traveling east.
The Oviedo woman tried to pass other traffic, which is when she headed into the other lane of traffic and struck the motorcyclist head-on.
The motorcyclist was identified only as a 50-year-old who was tragically pronounced dead at the scene of the accident.
Charges are pending against the Oviedo woman at this time. The investigation into the accident continues.
We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family of the deceased victim at this time.
Motorcycle Accidents in Florida
Motorcycle accidents are more common in Florida than in many other states. In just 2015 alone, it was reported that approximately 606 motorcyclists lost their lives in Florida motorcycle accidents due to the negligence of others. Because of the fact that these parties are some of the most vulnerable on Florida roadways, lives can be taken in the blink of an eye. As such, family members are urged to speak with a motorcycle accident attorney immediately.
