On Tuesday, October 18, 2011, a five-vehicle crash in Fort Lauderdale occurred on Interstate 95, leading to the death of a motorcyclist. According to the Florida Highway Patrol, the motorcyclist was thrown from his bike and run over by another car.
Eric Charles Alcazar, the 33-year-old motorcycle driver from Pompano Beach, was killed in this South Florida crash around 9:30 PM Tuesday night. He was traveling in the southbound lanes of I-95, north of Sunrise Boulevard, when his 2003 Yamaha bike rear-ended another car. Alcazar hit a 2006 BMW driven by 63-year-old Tina Maria Galliner, of Miami Lakes.
The impact of the crash caused Alcazar to be thrown off his bike and struck by a 2004 Toyota Sequoia driven by 39-year-old Moubelyn A. Tugaoen, of Miramar. Another car following the Sequoia and driven by Nadege Toussaint, 37, of Miramar, couldn't stop in time and rear-ended the Sequoia. Toussaint, the driver of the Honda Pilot, did sustain minor injuries.
Additionally, Jessica Salazar, 27, of Coral Springs, couldn't stop her 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe in time and hit Alcazar's motorcycle.
The southbound side of I-95 was closed for approximately three hours as cleanup efforts and accident investigation occurred. Police are still investigating the cause of this Fort Lauderdale crash.
