FHP says Young and a friend on another motorcycle were coming around the curve on East Lake Road approaching Bird Drive when a car tried to make a left turn. Vincent’s motorcycle struck the car on the left side.
People who live nearby heard the crash. They say accidents like this happen far too often.
“Well you see the fence down over there,” said a neighbor who didn’t want to be identified. “The car was basically almost in the retention pond. We’ve seen the telephone pole be replaced multiple times.”
Residents say there is a bad accident every few months. They have had enough.
“It just broke something in me,” said Kendra McWilliams.
“People are dying,” said McWilliams. “If this brings awareness and saves one life in the future then it was worth the battle.”
McWilliams is gathering neighbors to start a petition to get something done about the intersection. They want to make sure what happened on Thanksgiving never happens again.
