Posted on Jun 15, 2011
On Sunday, June 5, 2011, a fatal motorcycle accident in South Florida occurred.Florida Highway Patrol said that the Fort Lauderdale motorcycle crash occurred on Interstate 95 around 4:30 a.m., near the Sunrise Boulevard exit. Jeffrey J. Fishman, the 25-year-old motorcyclist, was driving northbound on I-95, south of Sunrise Boulevard, when the accident occurred.
Fishman, of Boca Raton, was riding a 2006 Suzuki motorcycle and was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. However, Fishman was thrown from the bike and suffered catastrophic injuries.
Officials indicated that Fishman crashed into the back of a 2001 Mercedes-Benz that was driven by 23-year-old Antoine R. Williams, of Lauderhill.
