Deadly motorcycle crash

What we know:

Troopers said a 2003 motorcycle was traveling eastbound on I-4, approaching Maitland Boulevard in the outside lane, while a 2022 motorcycle was traveling next to the other.

Both riders failed to make a right curve while exiting onto Maitland Boulevard, officials said, and both traveled east of the roadway and collided with a concrete wall.

Authorities said the collision impact caused both riders to be thrown from their motorcycles and fall from the overpass. A crash report shows the riders came to a final rest in the grassy field below the overpass.

The FHP said the rider of the 2003 motorcycle, a 25-year-old woman, died at the scene of the crash. The rider of the 2022 motorcycle, a 34-year-old man, was transported to the hospital with critical injuries.
