CAPE CORAL, Fla. – Cape Coral Police are investigating a fatal motorcycle crash that happened early Sunday morning at the intersection of SE 16th Street and SE 11th Avenue.
“A homeowner came out in the morning discovered the crash and notified the police department,” Sgt. Dana Coston said.
Investigators are still trying to piece together exactly when the crash happened.
“We have a couple of reports from people in the neighborhood who said they heard a noise last night between 1:30 a.m. and 4 a.m. so we aren’t quite able to nail it down just yet,” Coston said.
The skid marks on the road suggest that the rider hit the brakes well before the curve, but he lost control and hit a tree in a neighbor’s yard.
Neighbors say he recently bought the bike and was most likely on his way to his girlfriend’s house which is just three doors down from where he crashed.
“It is a dangerous curve, but this is the first time something like this has happened, no one has ever wrecked on that curve before,” neighbor Swammi Hemraj said.
Neighbors say they’ve seen other motorcycles speeding down their street.
“I live in this neighborhood for 28 years now and we have seen a lot of bikes going up and down the street here going really fast usually, midnight one in the morning, three in the morning,” Hemraj said.
They also say the street is very dark at night.
“This corner is pretty dark and they could put up another light or two or some kind of sign that says slow down or sharp turn, something,” neighbor Robert Wheelock said.
