Florida Highway Patrol accident investigators believe that alcohol was a contributing factor in a fatal motorcycle accident that claimed the life of an Apopka man on June 5. Police say the 37-year-old suspect was driving his van out of the Loyal Order of Moose lodge parking lot near Orange Blossom Trail and Rosamond Drive around 9:00 that evening when the accident occurred.

They report that as the man turned his van south onto Orange Blossom Trail, he drove into the path of the motorcyclist, violating his right of way and causing him to strike the front left side of the van. Accident investigators say the rider died at the scene from his injuries.

Drivers violating motorcyclists’ rights of way are a very common cause of motorcycle accidents in Florida. Whether the toxicology test come back positive for alcohol intoxication or not, the driver of the van was negligent in failing to observe the rider’s right of way and can be liable for damages.
