I-Drive accident claims life of motorcyclist

A 53-year-old Orlando man was killed after he lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a sign on International Drive.

The fatal accident took place at around 2:25 a.m. on Saturday, June 24, near the intersection of International Drive and Hawaiian Court.

According to a report from the Florida Highway Patrol, the man was driving his 2013 Harley Davidson Street Glide southbound on International Drive, approaching the intersection with Hawaiian Court in the inside lane.
